Thread: 1971 Camaro RS

RainX is my go to solution on my 48. Even with an electric conversion to the original wiper mechanism, the wipers are pretty much useless above about 30 mph.

Now on my T bucket, I actually looked just over the windshield like I do on my MC. I learned real quick not to put RainX on it. The rain would just pour over the top of the frame directly into my face! Of course, the car never had a top. It was definitely a motorcycle like experience. Drove that thing 5 hours once in a hard rain. Didn't have much choice as my wife had to be back home to go to work.

Since the headlights and wipers don't work on the Camaro, just drop it off with me for a year or two and I'll fix it right up for you.

Here are a couple other pics I took of it. I really need to adjust and fit the hood. It's too wide. I could probably oblong the holes in the fenders to get them out some more but I'd rather trim the hood. Harwood told me they make them a little wide so you can fit them to your car. I was worried I'd cut through the seam or something.

It isn't a stock hood Seth.

I was trying to state that I was wondering why they don't just make the hood the same width as the factory steel one. I seems crazy that GM made millions of the steel hoods that fit and now you have to cut up new fiberglass ones to make them fit? The cars didn't get wider. It would just be a matter of using a tape measure on the company's part, seems weird to me.
