Thanks...I have a ton of stuff off being chromed now (hinges, lift strut mounts, latch, catches, and bracing behind the front bumper), so it should look real goodd when I get that back.

good work. most people just hack a hole and push it through. to see someone actually make a nice hole and put a grommet in it is nice. make sure u put some sort of paint/ primer around the edges of the holes you cut so they dont rust.

The grommets came from:
http://search.cableorganizer.com/sea...875+&view=list

I cut a 1 1/2in hole for the wires then took a dremal and made it very slightly oblonged to fit the plugs through. That way the hole is as small as possible.

For the air hose I cut a 1 1/4in hole and it fit perfect. I used a unibit to drill a hole until it was big enough for the hood latch cable to just barely fit through. I think I used a 3/4in grommet for it.

Yeah, I didnt want to take it and this was the simplest way. Performance is not an issue at all with me with this car and I want to be able to put it back bone stock eventually.
