I wanted to share this resource as it's an exceptional value and an outstanding detail to take your car to the next level.

Restoration was performed by:

Steve Hackel
15000 Knox Ave
Midlothian Ill. 60445
708-687-4183

He dissassembled, cleaned, repaired dents in case, repaired broken components, refinished and plated all components as original, replaced all gaskets, seals, hardware and rewired the motor. Replaced all internal pump parts, reassembled, tested, shimmed and adjusted and lubricated.

All for approx $200.

An exceptional price for the thouroughness and quality of the work performed.

A nice show detail often overlooked on restorations.

Steve does a great job, been usuing him for years. Whats all the stuff on your washer for? I never seen a set up like that.

It's off a 69 Corvette.

John crossed over to the dark side.;)

Zoom Zoom. :D

John, lookin' good buddy!

How's the job situation?

Interview on Friday for a better position than I had. We'll see.

The Vette's tore down to the bare frame with body on at this point. Scraping, wire wheeling, degreasing and painting the frame which is by far my least favorite portion of a build.

Agreed, Steve's done several for me, cant beat the service or the price!!

Is that the NOS yellowed pump ya got there, John??? :p

Sure is, it's the stylish thing to do these days Dave!!:thumbsup:

Reproduction Wiper Motor Pump Valves simply wont do. ;)

Steve did mine too. He also saved the original sticker. Forgot: Who reproduces these date coded stickers?

Is Steve's better than Ground-Ups $160 version ?

I would say so, on 2 of mine there were minor problems he just fixed with no added charges. I'd rather deal with a one man shop any day, plus when there is a problem you get a phone call explaining it before you just get it back and have to deal with it later.

John, Mike, Steve, does the $200 include shipping?

Is Steve's better than Ground-Ups $160 version ?

Despite what the picture looks like on the website, most likely the $160 one from GU will be black.... So yes, it's much better. I lucked out on my 72, it cleaned up pretty well.

John, Mike, Steve, does the $200 include shipping?

John, here's how Steve works. I send the motor to him, he inspects it, evaluates it, calls, gives me a price, restores it, then sends it back to me in Fl. with an invoice. Then I send him a check. One was 160., another was 175., the last one, was 225. all prices were with shipping for the return. I paid to send it up. Steve is a great guy to deal with, I'll never use anyone else. PS the first one I sent was 3/4 years ago for the 160.

69396SS thanks for info, and Mike 704EVER. THis is the ticket. Do you remember the post of man who does the Hood Springs rebuild?

I was sittin here eating my chinkin fingers, and thought about this thread. Wouldn't it be neat to have a TC recommended Yellow Pages for parts re-conditioning services!!! ie: wiper motors, call Steve!

Steve also did mine a few years ago. He is the best...:thumbsup:

Good luck on the interview!

Steve did mine. Prefect job and I am fussy. Micky , the stuff is for headlight washers. RS camaros used the same set up. gary

Does he do Mopar wiper motors also? I need to have the one for the CHarger redone. It works, but it doesn't park, plus it needs to be replated. I aready got a quote of $300 with return shipping.

Best thing to do Tom call him.

I'm sending mine off to Steve tomorrow. This way I'll know what I have when I get it back, instead of guessing wether it will work or not after I detail it. There's just some things to leave to experience. Thanks for the lead.

I always admired the red on red 70'.Nice car John.
