The 1955-1957 Chevy CAR wiper motors bolt right on, and use the original cable control to work it, so no real modifications required, and can be put back to the original vacuum wiper motor if it is ever needed.

As for the brakes, quite a few on here will disagree, but dump the Easa-crash brakes and so what I and several others have done, and that's switch to a modern booster and a dual chamber master cylinder. There are those who swear by the Easamatic, and say it's a good unit. I have to disagree, I think it's an inherently unsafe design, and needs to be replaced. As for that matter, ANY single chamber master cylinder setup is unsafe.
