you first need a relay,the relay gets its power from the IGN terminal on the fuse block and than the wires go to the switches.

Drill slowly and use grommets. Not too sure what other tips you're looking for.

On my 70 someone cut the original PW wiring so I made my own. I didnt hook it to the ignition on, instead its hooked to the power side on the fuse block (always on, I can then roll my windows up or down without a key on) then I used a auto circut breaker so when the motor sees a big load (all the way up or down) the circut breaker cuts power to prevent the motor from burning up.
