I have to work the weekend but found a little time to start relocating the wipers. I have the first hole drilled. There is just enough room for them.

If I get time after work tomorrow I will try to get the other one done.

How will the stock wipers work with the curvature of the glass?

I did some test runs with them by hand to get locations. The way a wiper is made allows it to form to the windshield so stockers will work. I will find larger blades to cover more area but not needed. I just thought of something. This might not work on a standard car the clutch master cylinder might be in the way. I will have to look when I am home. This has been done on two kit cars that I know off but I did not see how they did their wipers just wanted info on the best windshield to fit the Fiero opening. There was not a lot of info out there that I could find.
Thanks,

Would it be possible to fit an aftermarket wiper unit they use in the old 30's hot rods down in the cowl in the duct area u covered with the sheetmetal? I know those units are verry small and basically run two motors one for each wiper kinda like a servo drive. I bet they would make it alot easier to do this then u would have no linkage between the wiper arms to deal with anymore.??Just an Idea.

If you have not seen Sean's 430 build, I thought it might give you some ideas: http://www.madmechanics.com...er-ad-360-build/450/

Just for what it's worth,

How about just using one wiper like the exotics. Just a thought..

I think it would really set the car off nicely.

Not to say that what your doing already is GREAT!

I enjoy the updates, less the drama.

Please continue

And I can't wait to see the car in person.
