I personally think the recessed window stainless looks like an oversized belt to hold a belly in. lol.

Im not sure if wiring is different to convert from non recessed to recessed, I believe the switch is different and the motor is definitely different.

Can you post a pic for me? I haven't been able to find a good pic of the wiper arms down and the hood closed.

Jody, it’s somewhat difficult to find any pics of non-recessed wipers on a 70-72... Best thing to do is do a google image search for “1970 chevelle greenbrier” (the stripper model) and some of the pics that show up will show the nose and hoodline with the non-recessed wipers. Most are flat hood cars though, not cowl hood.

Here's a pic on the car:

Here’s a pic of non-recessed wipers on a 70 showing how high they sit when parked:

And here’s a pic of recessed wipers on a 70. Note how much lower they sit:

Fit the Ididit column in today, fit perfect and the powdercoating is very nice. Could not be happier. And to make Todd happy I swapped the valve covers back to normal and mounted the catch can to the passenger side of the radiator support. Looks okay, liked it on the other side better visually but this should function better.

Thanks Troy.

There's only one opinion that matters.

The breather will mist some moisture and I can see that being a cosmetic problem near the master cylinder over time. You could put a line and petcock out the bottom of the breather and have the ability to drain the water into a pan from time to time. This is a time where I pick function over form. I love for things to work as desired under max effort.

Jody, mine had the hidden wipers too. Never knew anything different until just now this thread. Had to go find an old pic.

Thanks guys. Easiest thing to do is keep what I have (concealed), but I like the idea of cleaning up the firewall with either an aftermarket motor (smaller) or hidden unit.

I vote hidden unit Jody. It looks so clean with it hidden and out of sight.
