Good day, Greg,
I have the water jeted cams. They were only 30.00.
I have decided to make the assembly from carbon fiber. I have the plug made so I hope to make the molds this weekend.I am still waiting for the springs.
I have machined the bushes for the cams and have the followers cut. 
The glass channels are still under consideration as to make them  or keep trying to find the correct size on line. They have to be for 1/8” glass and I have been able to find only the standard 1/4” channels.
Will keep you posted as I proceed.

Larry, that would be fantastic.  Any idea about the cost to do so?  Thanks. Greg

Evening, Greg,
I have the use of a window lift to use as a pattern.  It has been loaned to me by Dave Mensh. Do you still need a pair of lifts? If so, I will start blueprinting so I can fabricate the unit.

Ah, Larry I wish I knew the answer. Frankly, I'm so frustrated that the otherwise fantastic car has begun to loose its attraction for me. It's been about 5 years in progress, and there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. It's a late '68 and totally stock. The restorer lost the glass on the right side, and the window lift mechanisms for both sides. Guessing the window shape won't change, but I don't know which shape to tell you. I do have the original frames. But have yet to figure out how they mount. I'll try the early corvette lift mechanisms. Again, thanks for your help. Greg
