1940 Club Coupe

First time posting. Been working on a 1940 70 Series Club Coupe for some time now. Building it into a street rod. After 9 long years (picture right after driving it into my garage in 2005), I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The original wiper motor did not come with the car. The bigger problem I have is both wiper arm drive mechanisms are trash. Anybody have any suggestions?

Welcome, cool project. Tell us more on what you did to it, and oh yes, pictures. On the wiper linkage, on not familiar with that setup, but maybe you can duplicate it, with stainless or aluminum.

What a great car it is going to be. I was going to suggest the Chevy for the wipers.
