Windshield Wipers with hidden mc

Guys,
Anyone come up with a good solution for windshield wipers when running the under dash master cylinder and booster? Getting to the point I'm going to have to make a decision, and I really like the idea of a completely clean firewall - but my truck will be a driver/pro tourer so I will need working wipers.
thanks for any help.

Its a lot of work but I adapted the SPW universal cable driven wipers to a 65.I mounted the motor behind the glove compartment. Don't have any pics cause i did not have a digital camera at the time and have since sold it. The hardest was mounting the drive motor but they worked great. I built a fiberlass cover to hide the motor cause it did hang down some if you were on the floor. They have an excellent product. Cost me about $325 when i was done. but you have intermittant wipers and they are not sloppy like the OEM wipers (quiet)

Thats what I figured one of the solutions would be - cable driver, I also had thought about some of the kits that have the motor mounted right at the wiper(hot rod style). Am much as I like to "engineer" stuff on this truck, it would be nice to have at least one bolt on part that worked.

I did the same thing with the SPW kit. I'll try and get a couple pics posted soon.

How hard was this to mount and wire? Do you have any pics?
