I cant if its just me get the search button to work so sorry for starting another thread on this subject. But I want to find all those other post about it the really good ones for cleaning up the engine bay. And also how do you guys put the wiring in the fenders and in the cowl and make it reach?

 

Are you talking about detailing it, or doing some wiring management. You may quite possibly be in the wrong forum [&:]

If its the latter of the two, i'd like to know as well. I'd like to make my efi setup look as clean as a carb engine bay looks.

::Keeps Dreaming::

 

Yea Im looking for hiding the wiring in the fenders.

 

Hiding wires is not at all that difficult to do believe me!
It takes a little patience and a little timebut that's about it.In my case I only had cut and extended 2 sets of wires to clean up the engine bay.... 1 set went to the overflow bottle and the other set went to the A/C compressor.
Other than those 2 sets of wires I did not have to cut or extend another set of wires, and had I not welded up my engine bay I possible may not of had to cut and lengthen either of thosesets of wires.
It's just a process of thinking what you want to do then try to see it it will work, I've hid my wires 2 different timesbecause I didn't like the way the 1st time came out.

You can see in this pic that you can still see some of the wires and the brake lines on the firewall on the passenger side


But on my second attempt you can see that there are no wires or brake lines to be seen in that same location



I do have a write up on what I did 8 yrs ago on hiding wires along with pics of how I have things put in the fenders if you're interested?

 

That's one clean engine compartment!

 

Yes please.. I would love to see that write up so I can use it as a guide.

 

almost stock's write up is really good, i used some of it for ideas for mine.






Hey Almost Stock, i have a question for you. where did you get the polished firewall plate? did you make it yourself? and if you did do you still have the pattern?

 

yo tony u just cut all the wires and then hot glue then back together boom ur done hahah dude its snyder by the way

 

Yes, I made that firewall cover plate.
I also made a template that I gave to a great friend of mine who now makes polished SS firewall cover plates from that template. He sells for less than any other I seen, and I can vouch for his quality.
If your interested I'll gladly pass his address to you.


Originally I polished a piece that I was going to put on the firewall


But then I changed my mind and went with a chrome firewall plate that had studs on the backside for easy mounting
which is what you see in the pics I posted.

 

yes, that looks awesome. i didnt know you could clean up efi that well i thought carbs would be the easy ones to hide all the stuff on
