    Looking good.
    If you're really going to delete the wipers, VA registration processes must be lightweight. In Texas they'd take one look and send you on your way.

    is their a special strap i should use

    please master of holding down wires please teach me your ways
    since i guess i am must be doing something wrong

    and i'am putting the car under antique so it will be fine with out the wipers
