Default Wire Mod with a twist

My wire mod with a twist, I covered the holes with plastic clips from AutoZone. They are the Large head with the barbs and fit perfect, you just have to paint them....

A new final pic.

Also, with the barbs sticking out the bottom in the wheel well, I was able to notch and wire tie everything...

You get a box of like 12 and they're all the same size for like $4. I just stuck them through some card board and a couple light coats of paint. Quick and easy and no bondo or repaint for now.

Still working on my final bat/fuse covers, they need a quick shot of clear to match the semi gloss on the shock towers. Then some blue decals.

Looks good, now paint the windshield fluid reservoir. That's the only negative thing under your hood.

I'm having a hood latch area cover being made. It will blend well with everything.

Phatasp, there's so much shine under there that the camara even said I need shades at night time. Nice clean setup.



YUR, No they are the Edlebrock covers. They are no longer made. I bought one of the last sets for my SS. I did polish those. I want a different look on the SS.
