I think one guy used MGB window hardware once. Try the search button on the main forum index page and type in "roll up windows" you might find some info.

What about the 3" gap between the door glass and the windshield posts? There are universal hot rod electric window motors.
I built my CMC with the optional roll up windows that consist of VW hardware and different windshield uprights top frame channel and seals. Most are still available from http://www.pelicanparts.com/PartsLookup/HTML/356_USA_60_65_KATALOG/805-05-Frame3.htm
They are 356 replacement parts. I had to cut my own polycarbonate windshield to avoid a third failed glass trimming to fit the body contour.

Can I see some pictures of your door cutout to house the roll up window? Was it a big pain in the ass or was it worth it?
Chesil has a part that covers the 3 Inch gap on there builds. I think that would be the easy part.

This is the only shot I can find that shows part of the door panel opening. I think There may be some non-digital prints somewhere, as this was a long term project for me with many delays. This picture is in my folder with others both during and after completion.
