Ok got the new cowl hood on but what to do about the squirters?

So I decided just to put the goodmark cowl hood on. Decided waiting all winter to see what it looks like while Ive got the truck ripped apart isnt for me. Slaped in on aligned it and no squirter holes for the WW! What did you guys do about this?

drill holes or do like i did and retro fit squirters on the wiper arms... they cover the window much better...i adapter mine off a van, the squirters didnt fit, but you could look around and find some that should.. not sure when they first started doing this.. but its a great mod..

i saw a funny video about relocating the ww squirters. remount them in the back of the truck pointing down at the wheels, then when you do a burn out, you press the button and get lots of smoke.

another idea i had was put them pointing out in the front fender wells, when you are at a red light and there is someone you want to mess with beside you, just hit the button and they are covered in whatever you have in the resivor

My '86 has the squirters on the wiper arms. Maybe you can use junkyard parts to do the conversion.

Yea my 86 does too, I may go that route. I just find it odd a OE quality part does not have provisions for OE equiptment.

Put them under the bumper for tailgaters. Works great.

the squirter on my wagon would spray a V-stream 15ft out in front of it from just behind the grill.

put one clsoer to the winsheild at an angle where one gets your whole windshield, and mount he second one to shoot peoples cars with, put them on the hood, but mount it basically sideways, if someone takes your spot, shot it on their car, i am not the one that thought of this, there was 3 kids at school last year that had them like this, one was a 82 GMC Swb, and the other one is a 85 Chevy with a built 383 stroker, will kill ls1's, he raced a kid with an 00 z28 with a 100 shot of nos and still beat him, now it is tore apart again and the motor is getting redone for the 3rd time, no he didn't mess the other motor up last time, he wanted to change the cam, then before changing the cam his friend had a 1050 dominator that was jetted for methanol, alcohol, whatever it is and got two blocks away, and blew his eaton posi 3.73 rearend up,

With the 383 I dont have too many tailgaters of course I only see cars in the rear view. Although I do have a friend who decied it would be kinda funny to get right on my bumper at a stoplight. Long story short tire kinda shoot rocks at windshileds whne you dump the clutch at 6500.

Got a new computer, got my camera working, got some pics. Oh and I showed the new hood to my mom, she seems to think it looks like a chevy hood giving birth to a dodge hood.
