Heh. I don't recall seeing plans for such a thing in any of the magazines, though I suppose that it's possible. I built one in a minibox that bolted to the underside of the dash in a 1970 Dodge Dart. It used a 555 and a relay.
I'd have sworn I got the idea from Radio Electronics or Popular Electronics but I just did a search at World Radio History for both magazines, the earliest either has slow kick wiper was 1968, but I know I saw the plan somewhere.

Maybe my uncle sent me the plans. I verified the year by the photos my dad took of me upside down under the dash of his car. It was also the first time I used forbidden words in front of my father.

Oh, and I still hate Chryslers hide away wipers! It took me 2 days to figure out the wiring. My sister's car was easy, "Oh yellow wire to ground makes the wiper turn on..." I had more trouble satisfying her sense of fashion about where to place the knob.
