I need to restore a set of wiper arms for a 70 challenger. Anybody have any tips for this. Would they be painted after being cleaned up. What color would be closest to orginal?

I know I've seen pics of some arms that Jules has restored but I don't think they are on his website. Maybe he will see this and post those pics again.

Has anyone seen a fix or a recommendation to keep the rivet on the drivers side arm from hitting the lower windshield chrome?
Also, any recommendations for which wiper blades work/fit the best?

As usual Jules, it looks awesome!
For the drivers side on an e-body, does your rebuild hold the blade away from the windshield so the rivet doesn't hit the chrome?
The design sucks from the factory. I have 20k mileage cars with scratches across the windshield and the lower chrome.

No it doesn't.
Thanks
