I saw a '69 this past weekend in a parking lot. It had a sheet metal insert where the wiper door used to be. The wiper arms extended through it and sat in recesses, i.e. it converted the system into an external one, with no moving wiper door.
I could not find the owner to ask "where" this came from. Does anyone know if this is an aftermarket piece/conversion that is for sale, or is this something that the owner fabricated?

i have seen a 71 that had the door removed and the guy told me he had
gotten a hood from a different year after they stopped putting them in.
don't remember what the actual year hood it was but i am almost
positive he said he had to do a little modification to it.

73 and newer hoods bolt on, and cover the wipers with no
problems. They come in most of the same shapes as the 69 hoods.
