no one will see all that work right? unless its some kind of show car to be gauked at in every little detail while it sits on a stand I dont see the point? enlighten me

grnstang · May 4th, 2009, 02:02 AM

well some people love going over every detail on their car. wouldnt you like to have a nice clean engine bay like that? i would

check out the orange engine bay in this link.....explanation enough Hideing the factory harness/relays/etc. in fenders

92twotone · May 4th, 2009, 05:31 AM

its like ive said before...to each thier own. personally I think the stock bay has way to many wires running in every which direction, and fords excessive swiss cheesing of the iner fenderwells is what sparked my decision. plus most of what is involved in doin the smoothing is time and skill not money. If you can make your car look better for a cheap price i say go for it. when its all back together we will see if you are still skeptical 89domindart.

Thats exactly like the car I always watched when I was 9 and said "Im going to have one of those when I grow up"

92twotone · May 4th, 2009, 07:35 AM

me too, so i got one haha. my cousin owned the car before me but neglected the appearance bad. he took care of the motor and drivetrain well, but the body was a mess. ive been goin for rides in this thing since i was like 10yrs old and finally he sold it to me on my fifteenth b day which was like 6yrs ago by now. glad u like it.

I'm sure your bay will turn out great... Whats your ETA for return from the body shop?

92twotone · May 4th, 2009, 12:40 PM

like 3 weeks...hope (fingers crossed) more than anything to have her all back together by early july so i can get it at least broken in and all the bugs worked out before winter. i'll just be happy to start wrenchin on it again. i been in europe for 4 mo. studyin, other than the trip to the lamborghini plant (amazing btw)-no cool cars whatsoever. im ready to get this thing back on the road haha.

Looking good bro. nice work.
As for the wiring run it all in the inner fenderwells. you may have to extend a couple of wires thats about it. There really is no right and wrong way to do it.
it just takes some time. Again props to ya its cominmg out sweet.

Figure i throw a couple of mine up to give ya some ideas

grnstang · May 4th, 2009, 02:40 PM

95opal · May 4th, 2009, 02:48 PM

95opal, your engine bay does look absolutely awesome......i've been looking at the live wires setup, how are they working out for you?
