Need picture please. Doing stock power window conversion on '63 Merc

Hi all, This is my first time here. My name is Les Dabney and I am in Redding, Ca. I would post pictures but don't know how to enter an URL when pix are saved on my computer. My car is pale yellow exterior and black interior. 390 4 barrel with cruiso o matic trans.
  I have a '63 Mercury Monterey Custom 4 door. . I have had it about 6 months. It sat in a garage since 1999 and is very well optioned except for no power windows. It has factory under dash a/c, power breezeway window, swing away wheel, 6 way power seat, tinted glass,  power steering and brakes. I have had to do just about everything you can imagine to get it roadworthy again.
I have bought a complete stock power window set up off ebay and have it ready to start installation. I will be removing front seat for upholstery and replacing carpet at same time.
Does anyone have a 1960 thru 1964 4 door galaxie or wagon with power windows? I need to see a picture of how the wiring harness and its metal cover attach to door or B pillar in the vicinity of hinges. I will need to drill holes in door and B pillar for wire routing .
If someone could open their back door, snap a couple of pix and post them it would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

It's been 25 years since I parted out a '63 Galaxie 500XL sedan that had full power; I can't recall how the wiring was routed, unfortunately. I had a service manual then and it had a supplement that covered power options. Hopefully somebody can scan the manual for you and get you rolling (or not rolling) your windows!
