Well I started my wire tuck / "hole" tuck / "weld" tuck project last November with a simple battery relocation. Never knowing when to quit and the fact that the car is not a DD it has evolved into the major renovation you see in the pics. So far it is turning out really nice and I am trying to be complete for Mid-America Shelby meet in Tulsa. Everything is on hold now because of 4-wheeler accident requiring ACL surgery next week. Hopefully, I can get back in the garage asap to try and finish before Spring!

Starting Point with battery already relocated to trunk:

When you do a wire tuck, where do you tuck em???

depends on how detailed you want to be. I'm actually going to run several wires under the intake. many others will be lengthened as needed to route in totally hidden ways outside of engine compartment and behind firewall "dead" space. many good ideas in previous threads on this subject.

Man that is awesome. I think the white car really helps show it off nicely. Can't wait to see this done.

evap emissions delete also. This really allows you to see the rear suspension from behind. We are lucky in Oklahoma - no smog inspections!
