One of the parts that we had to source was a Boeing 707 wiper motor. We located one in a Florida, airplane salvage/parts business. They asked if we needed the part "certified". We said; "No, it's going into an old race car." Their response was that we could find numerous wiper motors that were a lot cheaper. The reply, of course, was no, we had to have the Boeing motor. Kenny Thompson then machined up a new drive wheel to change the sweep of the wiper arm for the J car windshield.
