question: could/would you go into a little detail of how/what you did for the body "vent openings"- wiper arms openings above the firewall (post 1256) I would like to try to do something similar... thank you in advance
the vent opening up by the wiper arms I laser cut from a piece of 11 Ga. stainless and then we built wooden bucks the same shape as the holes and we then formed the stainless wire mesh to fit inside the holes. My intention at one time was to leave it shiny but I changed direction through the project and painted everything. I wanted it all to blend and kind of get lost with everything else so we painted it body color. As for the wipers...here's hoping I don't get caught in the rain, lol. I went with a cable driven wiper system from a street rod so that this way there would be no big ugly wiper motor on the firewall.
