There are certain things that you do when restoring, fixing up to drive, whatever on a car. Some you can cut corners on until later. Others you cannot. If it is under/in the dash or on the firewall why on earth would you not do it right and do it once? Master cyl. , brakes, wiper motor, heater, all are a pain to do once let alone more than once. They all show and they all must operate well. At the top of the list is the wiper motor. If not done right. Original, they look cheap. Just do it right once and you will always be happy. If you don't, it will always be wrong. And trust me, everyone who looks under your hood may not say so, but you know what they are thinking. (looks like crap) Do it ONCE and do it RIGHT.

while we're griping; I have a problem with that statement. I always figure if there is an "us and them" then the US and Canada are on the "us" side together! C'mon, it's not like buying some inferior pce of dog doo from Wallmart that's made of lead from China! Sorry to vent, but that's one thing that bugs the crap outta me: alot of Mopars were made in Canada and I buy and support alot of US vendors and suppliers without any prejudicial attitude about it.
.....I'll be down in Florida next week, spending money!

When a vendor such as Jules tries to educate he is perceived as slamming another???? Jules couldn't have been more diplomatic with his words nor has he ever been off color in any of his posts. There is a correct way and there is a "parts store" way. The motor that you posted up 71 bee is just that, average "parts store" looking. Also I don't believe Jules said he would do a motor like that but that if he did the cost would be $75. Let's save bashing for the mediocre venders not one of the "good one's".

"So YES saying it was $75 is a dig and your digging the hole even deeper by calling it a parts store resto. Therefore you are simply insulting ME because I called him out." I want to be clear, I'm not insulting you or Kim's or who ever!! I'm saying the part looks like something you'd buy in a parts store or clean and paint at home yourself. "Calling him out" as you stated just sounds silly to me. Jules products are the benchmark and stand alone. If you can't see the difference than that's on you. I'm done on this subject.

I read the whole thread and I understand what JULES is saying it just depends on what side of the fence your on as to how you interpret it. But then came this post and I was like wow that read is quite insulting IMO...

RIGHT...this is not insulting at all!
Still waiting on where to get that parts store wiper motor for 75 and that price breakdown of a refurb motor...
A lot of "Let me be Clears" going on out there lately...
So you don't even know about Kim's work but you KNOW that ONLY Jules does wiper motors correctly...this is despite the FACT that others on this very post have praised her work. Right...
Chris like it or not your car looks far to good to have a wiper motor that looks that bad... It truly looks like what is available for allot of vehicles at the local NAPA store.. For around $75.00.. Your right you can't get a vintage Mopar wiper at NAPA anymore but it really hasn't been that long ago that you could... Sorry I know my post is gonna piss you off but it's the truth... I like your car, I certianly have nothing against you.. I just think that wiper motor looks like crap..
The thing I see about Jules is he has helped dozens of guys through the years sort out issues with their wipers, talked guys through 2-speed to 3-speed conversions.. Posted tutorials on rebuilding various components that he offers a service for but knows there are guys that want to do it themselves so he shows how it's done..
He has posted the pictures showing how to clock the park mechanism countless times..
When he rebuilds wiper motors the bushings get replaced, the commutator gets turned, new brushes are installed, contact plates, wires, lots of details... Looking at the photo Kims re-plated motor I see visible details that aren't as well done as what Jules does every time... He has a very thoroughly worked out process... If your happy thats fine but I personally feel your car deserves better...
