I was able to clean and polish the area under the cowl vent prior to re-assembling everything. One common theme I have found on this car - when the previous restorer cut and buffed the paint he left compound slag/spatter EVERYWHERE. It was under all the trim and moldings - and now under the cowl vent and on the wiper arm spindles. It has all been properly cleaned up. The fasteners that attached the cowl cover were improperly painted body color. I wire wheeled the paint off to re-install for now but have a set of correct and properly plated fasteners coming in the bunch that is on its way with the chassis stuff.

Wiper motor is installed and functioning. Probably the first time the washers have worked in decades. Probably never need them but they need to work in order for things to be properly sorted........
