Well I cant find anyone with 16 gauge steel thats open today. HomeDepot has it but its like $25 for a 1x2ft section which im not going to pay.

I guess I will work on getting the inner tubs totaly removed so I will be ready for my mini tubs.

Mike

we used a stock wiper motor and modified the arms in the cowl

I remember reading somewhere that a guy used a VW wiper motor because it fit in the cowl area...perhaps a quick google would find it?

I used a VW wiper motor in my '69 Camaro based off of paul67's (over at pro-touring.com) original design. I have some pictures of my install over on my website if you are interested. http://www.camaroheaven.org/modules....howpage&cid=36

Here's on of the installed pictures:


You can ignore all the pictures of the Camaro wiper switch modifications, I ended up not going that route, but I left the pictures up just in case someone was interested in seeing what the inside of the switch looked like.
