Well, I somehow want to find a way to "clean up" the look of my engine bay. its not dirty, but it just looks cluttered because of all the wires and hoses everywhere. Just wondering if anyone has every done something like this on a fox. I know a lot of tuner guys do it, but havent heard much about mustangs...

I see what you mean but I'm not really sure how to explain how to do it. I know mine could look better. Removing my ac helped but thats not an option if you want to stay cool. You can get some ideas from looking through magazines, just check out some other cars.

almost stock...that looks absolutely amazing....but I definately dont have that much time to put into it. I am pulling the motor for a rebuild, but I dont think ill will be able to do the whole tuck behind the fenderwells and weld the holes shut...but we will see. But i would rather pay somebody to do it.

Hiding/tucking wires; I spent about 4-5 hrs on the passenger side and 7-8 hrs on the drivers side., so it's not that time consuming I don't think.
