Wiper well access
Hello all. I'm prepping my '72 Camper Special for paint and need to get into the well at the base of the windshield under the wipers. Am I missing something or is the only way in to unbolt everything south of the engine compartment struts? Anyone?

To elaborate further, it is a balloon assembly. There's no getting in except through the slits and body plugs.
If painting, I suggest some sort of wand through which epoxy primer and final color can be shot. Do this first before topocoating the exterior.

Wiper well
Very helpful the photo you posted HIO. I have a couple make do ideas. There is an exasperatingly small port on the firewall where I hope to be able to claw out most of the debris. For the painting I've considered inserting some trimmed cardboard through the vents from one wiper to the other, or, simply letting the paint fall where it may. Last weekend I was driving Dad's 1948 Ford-Furguson tractor and when I popped the hood I had to evict a well established family of mice. From what I can see, I think their cousins lived in my '72.
