<VV> wiring question

Options:
1) Put in a push button that will ground one of the wires from the wiper 
motor to the switch.  This does the same as the original switch.  Or:
2) Just turn the existing switch on/off like we did it 50 years ago.  Or:
3) Check check how Mark Noakes is progressing on his project of a couple 
weeks ago.

Subject:  wiring question

The other day, while driving the '60 in the rain and getting totally sick of 
listening to the windshield wipers do the "bunny hop" across the windshield 
countless times because it was only a sprinkle or two, I had a brainstorm. 
Then after installing a light over my parts washer (an old ringer washer tub 
filled with diesel fuel) I saw how to do it.  I think.
What I am talking about is this: Why not create my own version of " 
intermittent wipers".  I think I can route two separate wires from the hot 
source (instead of the stock one) to the wiper motor.  One wire would 
contain a toggle switch for the wipers to work normally.  The other would 
contain a push button switch.  Then on those drizzly days, after turning on 
the stock wiper switch,  all i'd have to do is push the button and hold it a 
second or two to wipe the windshield.  No more bunny hopping wipers!!!
Thoughts and opinions welcome.
