Just Curious. How many cars on here that do not have Working Wipers. Maybe someone with more computer knowledge could set this up again as a POLL. Mine does not ( 1 ). ? Rough guess what it would cost to reinstall everything. Is there a company that sells a complete kit. Originalty not important.:beers:

Yes on the wipers for me. I've been tempted to pull out the wiper motor to help clean up the engine bay, but even though I never take the car out when its raining, I've been getting caught in unexpected showers at least twice a summer now, so for safety, I'm going to leave them in.

Mines not a chevelle but no wipers for me...if I'm gonna drive it possibly in the rain then I throw a fresh coat of rain-x on the windshield, never had a problem. :yes:

Thanks 502. I use the rain-x on all of my daily drivers but never even gave that a thought.

I know everyone has different taste, Pro street or otherwise, but a car without wipers looks unfinished to me.

smoothed firewall.... so wiper motor gone.
Big hood hit the mount for the wiper arm; removed wiper arms and mounts.

avoid rain.
(Blowers dont like to suck in the water anyhow.....)

Has anyone ever heard or seen a wiper motor not mounted on the firewall. I will say personally that my eyes never get drawn to the wipers unless unusual arm style or blades.

I dont know if you can do it on a Chevelle but my 55 Bel Air has the motor under the dash .And yes all my cars have wipers as they are driven in the rain sometimes.

I run wipers, also like RainX, but at times RainX just can't do what wipers do.

For more of a show car it would not matter as much, but I like to drive mine so it could get caught in the rain.

This builder in the Pro Touring section has moved his wiper motor. Go to page #9 post 122. I'm sure the builder can give you ideas on how he did it.

Thanks Kim, will check that out.

I'm always impressed when everything works on a pro street car. It's easy to take stuff off, but sometimes much more difficult to get everything working. I kept my wipers. I was thinking about hooking up the squirters also but I've got to hook up my horn and reverse lights first.

I have functioning wipers,horn & reverse lights on my Pro Streeter......in order to be DOT compliant :yes:.

I just rebuilt the washer motor and once I got the whole wiper/washer system fully functioning I removed the wiper arms and relaced them with a set of bullets....love em!

My car was strictly a race car most of its life so that is why they were taken off. I live in Florida where there are no vehicle inspections.
