Tired of looking at all the clean smooth engine bays,,bring on the welder and panels. This is the second time the motor has been out of the car in 1k miles, but it had to come out anyway so I'm gonna give it a shot.
Solenoid will be hidden
MSD box in the cab w/me
Gonna try to hide pretty much all I can.
got the plates on for the bottom side of the car/rollcage.
New carpet going in tonight.

Good luck! little tip for hiding the wires on the driver side, there should be a hole between the firewall and strut tower, run them through there.. I'll see if I can dig up my pics..
What kind of roll bar is that?
Have you thought of going tubular k-member?

I had to patch where the battery was, for some reason it looks like someone tried cutting the metal out. *shrug*

You can see the whole I'm talking about in this pic. it's closer to the firewall.

not the best pic, but you get the idea, the wires are now hidden and no longer in the engine bay.

here is the close up I wanted you to see.. I have the hood latch cable and wires going through there.

finished product. It's not the clean smooth engine bay that you're probably going for, but it at least gives you and idea on what to do with the wires.

Thnx man, I appreciate it. I have some of the wires routed that way now, just gotta fish the rest of them there. Lots of zipties and patience and I'll get there. Im shooting for Jan 10th as a finish date. Wanna make it to Silver Springs w/the club.

no problem. it's deffinatly time consuming, but you have more wires then I do since I'm carbed. I still have to zip tie mine. you'll like it once it's done, but damn Jan 10th is a close date for something like this. lol! good luck!

Not that I regret it, but I could have left well enough alone and never sold this car:
