Wow...interesting concept. Would like to watch this one through completion.
Not a big fan of the single wiper but its very creative. |

Even one of those custom hot rod units? They are pretty flexible. |

Thats pretty cool but I have a question, you have to remove the wiper arm to tilt the front forward?

Do not install those large wheels. Find something that suits the car - those five spokes look ridiculous in the small wheel arch. |
