    Why make a faux wiper? Why not just install a real one?

    If you are gonna say "not enough room", look into Mighty Wipers. I installed one under a stock '32 header panel and you can't tell anything from the outside or inside.

    Faux must be a brand name. Right? Probably some expensive brand we haven't heard of. Sounds French.

    Rotofaze distributor would not go into the timing cover because of the fabbed hold down the welds on the inside needed to be filed down more ..huge pain in the ass.The stock distributor would clear but the rotofaze wouldnt...Anyways...its going back together...

    Looks better without it. Looks like it's not made for the car even though I like the design.

    You car looks like a drag car to me....I would take it off and forget about it. Your front end is far up enough you shouldn't hit anything.

    Looking great by the way.
