- Hello Folks,
I'm back from Ohio and what a trip it was. We cannon-balled our way east and made it before my cousin Ed passed away then hung out for the funeral. Just over 3 weeks in total. Now that I'm back I have to get after the wipers. Can't have those giving up in Oregon. Of course, it rained a lot in Ohio too, maybe Oregon is just average soggy.

Being a 3rd generation ford tech, my dad in the 60s worked at a ford dealership. The noise you hear is basically normal. Customers complained so much about the wiper motor noise that the wiper was designed to go in the engine compartment in later years. Fun fact.
Thanks James, fun fact.
That’s nice of you man. Good dude
Thanks Stephen,
Hope all is well with you over the pond.
glad you are home safe and sound, sorry for your loss. Wow ,your wiper motor is so different than mine was in 68. totally different parking mechanism. Glad the brushes did not pop like modern electric motors. And YES you made the right call on the power tour, I know it is a hard decision and somewhat disappointing but it would be difficult enough in a modern vehicle with all its creature comforts , never mine a 60 year old car. my wife and I also find we can no longer be in a car for long periods of time either. Take care
Thanks Wally,
I still want to make it back east to meet up with you and Barry. Was hoping to combine the power tour with my road trip. We may be old geezers but we still git er done. Maybe later this summer.
@@donsmanufactory It might make more sense to meet in the middle somewhere. Give it some thought and we can look at some options
Sorry for your loss. Wipers aren't supposed to clunk? I don't foresee ever using the wipers on the mustang when I get it on the road. What amazes me is how small the wiper moors are now and how much faster they wipe and with way bigger wiper blades dragging it down. And I really miss not having machine shop at my disposal anymore. I keep looking at used lathes here but not much in the way of good ones here.
Sorry about your cousin! Very informative vid, always interested in unique problems. Entertaining as usual
Thanks Richard,
Ed was a really cool guy. When we visited him in hospice he was still figuring on getting out of there and back at it. Might have been saying that to us to keep up the positivity, I dunno. 5 cancers two of which were stage 4, not a chance.
Sorry for your loss Sir. I've never rebuilt a wiper motor before. Looks complex. I also have a 66 Mustang 2+2 FB.
Thank you. It wasn’t too difficult.
I’d love to see pics of your Stang project. I almost did a coupe to fastback conversion.
