Title: Under hood wiring
Post by: Gdub on November 25, 2011, 01:14:32 PM
Has anyone tried to hide as many wires as possible in the engine bay?
I am working on my 87 LX bird and want to make the engine bay as slick as possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks Gdub

I hid all the wires i could in the inner fenders and in front of the core support. I'm carbed so it was easy with efi I'm sure it can be done.

google "mustang wire tuck" 5.0 mustang engine bays are pretty much identical to ours

a lot of wires will need to be shortened/lengthened for a full-on wire tuck.. aside from a wire tuck, what makes these cars look a LOT better is filling in all those  holes.. in my opinion, that is the WORST looking part of any fox car.. shaving the holes and a mini wire tuck make under the hood SO much more appealing, while still retaining some sort of 'factory appearance,' in my opinion.. a full on wire tuck with the holes shaven is just shagY, like pictured above

That's a mighty fine job, Did you use regular body filler to get it that smooth?

I agree with you Shadow, I have been working filling all the small holes but want to make sure I don't fill the big ones I may need  later ;>)
