I know there's a few Vette Veterans that can give me some ideas...


With car show season upon us I'd like to hide these wires/clips. I'm thinking of extending the wires....what did you do to hide the clips? I can hide them behind the valve cover if I extend the wires....

Let's discuss ? ? ?

I love a clean, wire tucked engine bay. It's probably most common in Honda/Acuras from back in the day.

Not this car, but I remember detailing a K20 swapped Integra GSR sedan that had a full wire tuck (it was the former owner of Garage Kwai who was then working at Six Star Motorsports)

I'd just be careful getting carried away, if you start cutting all the harnesses you better be really good at crimping or soldering and feeding wires into various connectors.

My '67 will not win any engine aesthetics competitions from a wiring standpoint but through the use of wire loom covers it helps some. And I took a lot of care when running wirings to keep them from burning.
