1953 chevy wiper question

I'm building a 53 moredoor chop top and I had 2 questions. 1. does any one know where I can get a electric wiper conversion I don't know if theirs a kit or if it's something I'll have to put together but any help would be appreciated.2. with the top being chopped where do I get shorter wiper arms it's chopped 4 1/2 INCHES.

 

National Chevy Assoc has some 12v wiper motors. Haven't seen anything cheaper yet- looking for electric for my 54 as well.

 

I do believe they make kits, try chev's of the 40s

I did a cheap converson on my 50

for the arms, cut 'em up.
Ther eis usualy a rivet where the thin arm part goes into the fatter piece.
I got lucky and found adjustable ones shown in my other post.

This should be what you're looking for... In the same section, you can find replacement wiper arms that you can cut up/modify...

 

I bought a motor for a 55 Chevy car, they bolt right on to the drive. The word conversion for the part might make it a little more expensive, it's just a 55 Chevy car wiper motor.

 

Newport engineering makes an electric motor that just takes the place of the vacuum motor.
