Got-sol92 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Of all the pics I've seen and the car shows iv been to I always see the engine bay super clean and nothing but the motor radiator and a few other things I've kinda done that but I wanna strip it out like this Is it all just wire tucks I seem to have so much crap under the hood it's retarded. How do you make it look like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Battery in trunk and wire tuck, fuel and break line tuck to... He went through all that work but didnt fill any holes... thats gay as shit. Also remember that a wire tuck just means posible wire shorts and issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-sol92 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Yeah I was just wondering cuz that shits hella clean lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 But it's not. These days the proper way to do it is to weld the holes, grind them down and paint the whole bay so it looks like what you see is all that was ever supposed to be in there in the first place. To each there own, but that guy did a lot of work and really only half finished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 wire tuck and floating engine are two different things floating engine like that you have to take out power steering, ac, abs, cruise, etc etc and the wire tucking is not for the faint hearted.. you will have to cut, extend, and reroute EVERY wire.. some places do have kits for some cars I wouldnt recommend it to anyone who doesnt have a show car only.. its pointless you can CLEAN up you engine bay with a good clean and grouping wires, rewrapping them, paint the valve cover, do something with that header.. and just do a good scrubbing Wish we mike would get on here and post his before/after engine bays pics.. they were pretty nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-sol92 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah I used a good degreaser yesterday and improved it deistically but I don't have any money for headers even eBay headers unless someones got some for sale for cheap I could entertain that idea lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 if you can't afford a header from ebay there is no way you will even be able to start a wire tuck project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
