    Build Project Old Blue - 1973

    Installed the motor assembly and the wiper arms, new OEM blades courtesy of @Racer65 Aka: CityRacer. Both slow speed and slower speed work and it parks!! Does this look correct for park? Or should I adjust the arms 1 more notch up??

    Parts all cleaned up pretty good with a simple green solution and just some touch ups with a brush and pipe cleaners. Everything reinstalled and threw some pewter paint on it (definitely not the prom queen resto) 😂 Needed to pull the soft top off because the front lip was sticking down too much...

    Finally back on Blue with the sun being out and temps being bearable. Diving back into windshield wiper project. Initially found a wire had broken loose, re-soldered that and replaced the 4 pin plug. Tried testing the motor outside the vehicle, found the passenger side was trying to turn but...

    Finished the cowl vent cleanup and reinstall. Operates very well… then took it in a long drive since it’s in the 50’s today.

    Here goes Phase 2 of the lighting. Installed a set of OEM Fog lights. Used @Racer65 CityRacer’s fog light wiring harness, so awesome and exact length for running through the front frame horns. Back on the headlights, none of my other lights turn on with the switch now. Wonder if I knocked...

    Last step.. need to get some bigger terminal ends to attach the headlight power and ground to the military grade terminals. Unless someone has a better idea? Can I ground the negative to the fender?

    Progress update for the 81110-60P70 Headlight upgrade. Got the back of the bib cleaned up with CLR and 000 fine steel wool, then rust converted areas that needed it. Cleaned up the headlight buckets and surrounds the best I could. Ordered new headlight adjustment bushings from CityRacer...
