Has there been anyone recently that has done wire tucking in the Bay Area and is interested in making a money from doing this? I'd be willing to pay for someone to do this.

Whoa, very clean! I'm jealous. I might just have to roll the dice and attempt to wire tuck myself if I can't find anyone to do it LOL

Woohoo! Got my first stage of wire tucking done. I spent 45 minutes today and was able to tuck in my alternator wire going to the battery compartment. Had to drill a hole on the firewall to tuck it through. This was a very easy one. Next, the passenger side headlights! And I got some final Earl's Hose Clamps coming in to complete my hoses.

Stage two done. That one was a pain in the *** to do. Couple of hand scratches and sweat later, here is the result. Too lazy to take a good quality photo.

One more wire to go!

Thanks Ray! Feel free to pass the plenum deal to Me Gusta. I decided to stick with the engine cover bay look.

Looking good. These wires really do cluttered up the engine bay.

It really does make a difference with them tucked away! My next challenge is the driver side wire. I'm hoping it's not a pain in the butt to do like the other. Anyone have any experience with that side who can tell me if it is easier than the passenger side wires?

I can't wait for my Earl Clamps, polished fluid caps from ZeeToys, and hood damper to come in. Makes me fall in love with my car all over again ever since purchasing it in 2006.

Take is slow. That's what i did. I just tuck one at a time. Now they are gone and looking really good. I have one more to do but you can't really see it unless you really look. So i just take my time.

Yeah I'm definitely pacing myself lol. I think I'll take a break for a while before I start to tackle that driver side one. Are you going to the meet this Thursday? I would love to take a look at your engine.

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized you are in Torrance, CA.
