I did that when I was younger and thought it was so cool until I got caught in a down pour and couldn't see anything. I quickly hooked my wipers back up. For a hot rod, who cares but if you're gonna drive it I say keep the wipers.

I have always thought that less is more when it comes to these trucks. since you are a detail kind of guy; have you considered white corner lights from an '80 or whatever year they started that? On mine I also replaced the screws on my side marker lights and tail lights to black instead of the chrome type. btw-that is one clean looking truck-nice work.
