Started the project...

I have painted a few foxbody engine bays as well as 99-04's. Its not that hard to hide most of the wiring. The big thing is routing the neccesary EFI wires in a clean manner. The MAF wires and lights wires can easily be ran in the fenderwell as well as the starter seloniod. The easiest/cleanest thing Ive come across is pulling the dash and running all the wires from the salt/pepper shakers thru a whole in the center of the firewall. I noticed Brooks was looking for some electrical bulkheads to do the same thing which would be ALOT cleaner then a hole/grommet setup I've seen in the past. Just look back a page or two for a few ideas on the bulkhead setup. As far as removing the wires go to paint the engine bay, its fairly easy to pull most of what cannot be disconnected from the harness back thru the wholes located behind the passenger/drivers firewall.

Thanks man.

I ordered a lot of stuff from Scott Rod Fab. He is making more stuff than what he advertises on his website. Pretty good looking stuff. He is actually making a cover that goes from the back of the top radiator support to the lights. It covers up the holes there, so it looks nice and clean. I'll post up a pic that he sent me of that.

Actually, here is all of the pics he sent me.

That is some nice work!!....just outta curiosity anyone know how much something like that cost for a shop to do?...including parts...just the engine bay...

No telling man. I know the parts for everything in the engine bay is around 400 bucks. If you value your time, I think it's well worth it. Plus you won't have the hassle of trying to fill in and grind down all the holes.
