I agree. Thank you Phil for all of the research you do, the information is priceless. The guys who worked there are getting up in years, soon this information will be lost forever.

Im sorry Clem but what does ordering a special paint car have to do with how the procedures were done at the plant during the production. The comments provided above are from people that have talked with plant workers or were in engineering from GM when the cars were new.. That to me are 2 totally different aspects.. Just because you ordered a car doesnt mean you knew how it was assembled in a production setting unless you were there on the line when the car was coming down..

Chill out a little.. We are all here to learn (or at least I know I am).

</div></div>someone said there should be no paint on the wiper parts and since the restorer said there was EO there it had to be a dealer repaint. everything you read here is not gospel. there are too many opinions and little facts

I am the one who stated the wiper transmission over spray absolute... I have also stated I was wrong that the only absolute is there are no absolutes. The wiper transmission was installed after the body was painted so barring touch up or mismatch they should not have over spray.
Previously no one had the information that front ends on special paint cars were installed primed and then de-trimmed and painted. This formerly unknown process was brought to light through this thread, yes the discussion was spurred by your vehicle however before this information was brought to light the only known way to have paint on the wiper transmission was a dealer touch up or repaint.
