Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
Just trying to imagine it, I'm thinking it might look dumb if it just had holes cut for the wipers, but I dunno. Seems like it would need to be a little more elaborate, like the dished area around the wipers on the factory, fiberglass, or urethane cowl.

You'd have to do a recessed area more like the urethane cowl. |

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
It's at the painters now. It's getting sprayed probably Saturday.
My painter prefers to paint when the temperatures decent outside so the booth maintains a good temp with exhaust fans on for better results & is also squeezing it in while doing a couple of large restoration jobs. I'm anxious to get it back but rushing your painter is never a good thing. |

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
To complete the install on these we also made screens for the holes in the cowl & a wiper motor delete panels.

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
Looks great man! Maybe sometime down the road I can find somebody to fab me one to work with wipers. Not sure if you saw, but I did something similar with the wire mesh on mine. However mine is attached under the stock cowl.

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
Thanks! I am happy with it.
When you stand back the piece just kind of disappears (which is great) or looks like a 73-80 hood where it goes all the way to the windshield. |

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
I think the cowl itself was in the couple hundred bucks range.
Then me and a buddy did some tweaking and fitting before sending it to paint. |

There's a fellow Facebook group member trying to sell a fiberglass one he bought years ago but sold the truck before installing/painting. He says he test fitted & that it fit good; he says it's a nice piece. I'm just a bit too hesitant to buy. He's 4+ hours away, otherwise I'd drive over & check the fit myself. Quote:

Re: Smooth wiper cowl?
Was informed that Grant is producing the smooth steel wiper cowls again. Here’s a link to the site:
https://grantfab.com/collections/wip...oth-wiper-cowl I’d still like to have one that’ll accept wipers. My Tahoe is no longer a daily driver though, so maybe I could get away with what’s available.
