Hey guys,
So I decided to start tucking my engine bay.
I didn't expect to go as far as I am now, but once I started hiding things, I wanted to hide more & more stuff. I'm not going to the extreme like coomer did, just wanted to clean up the motor a bit.


Engine before I started the tuck, it was neat, but I wanted to venture further.


I started with the passenger side, because its the easiest. wink.gif
I had to remove the fenders, front bumper, and eventually the hood.



I will get better pics tomorrow, my camera ran out of battery.
Here is a blurry cellphone pic of the frame rail tucked.



I'm happy with the results, then the wiring to the alt and O2 sensor started to annoy me. lol
So I jumped in on the drivers side


Here is some of the tuck and the relocated fuse box


I can't believe how time consuming this is. I have the engine harness out of the car now, I will rewire the entire harness so I can completely hide it.

Blurry pic warning, its getting there.




I still have a ton of work to do on it, consider that the almost half way point, still plenty of things to hide and relocate. I have a feeling I'm gonna pull the engine laugh.gif
I will get some better pics tomorrow.

Any suggestions ?

DEF

Hey def, this is gonna look great when its done, however the only problem i see with it is, if you ever DO happen to blow a fuse, its going to be the biggest PITA to change out. i mean, other then that theres really no draw backs, and i dont see how you would be able to extend it a little further for it to be out of the way yet still accessable.

keep this updated though, im really curious to see how it will turn out.

looking good so far though man.
