I frickin hate pictures of cars like this. Why? I'm trying to talk myself out of smoothing and tucking my engine bay this winter when my motor gets replaced with my HCI motor from my old notch. Cars like this make it difficult to resist. I actually did enjoy the first time doing it and the second time will be fun and easier too but I don't really want my car to get of control! Too late?

I'm going to really have to weigh it out if/when my engine comes out. I have SO much crap stuffed under my hood I don't know if it is justifiable. I definitely want to wipe the slate and reroute everything to clean it up... I just don't know if I can stuff 100 lbs in a 50 lb sack and make it purty.

That's the time to do it though.. so much easier with the motor out... I did a quasi wire tuck on the driver side and firewalll...next is the passenger side with the motor in the car.. kind a PITA working around the engine.

Problem is as you know it will snowball into smoothed inner fenders... hiding the brake lines, smoothing the firewall.. and then you are drinking like @Davedacarpainter ....lol

True Foged!? I'm jealous! Pretty much anything they have is beautiful!

What will it be like when I can focus my money on just one project?

Oh, come on now, I don't drink anymore.....or any less, but never mind that.

Besides, my drinking habits will bleed over into other threads where people ask silly things about the wisdom of being married and what causes the increase of fluid intake.

The point is Jeff, do everything all at once, don't look back, go freakin' crazy. It's the only sane thing to do.

How hard is it to do a wire tuck? I'm pulling my engine in a month or so (hopefully fingers crossed) and I love the clean look of it but have no ider where to start.

P.S. Who's drinking? I want in on this.
