Very nice and clean.. now you just need to re-route (hide) those ground wires

Again, good work!

Steve, I want to thank you very much for taking the time and creating the "Wire Mod" thread...very helpful, very cool.

The more I clean the engine bay up the more things stick out like the ground wires and especially the PCM looms. Oh well...easy stuff to correct at this point.

Thanks again

I'll give up air, I'll give up heat, I'll even go through the pains of a wire mod and battery relo for the greater good of looks and/or weight reduction but when it come to power steering ...that baby stays.

Congratulations, you have the baddest SS vert I've ever seen. LOVIN' the Hugger/white combo.

The only other thing I like is when the convertibles have the "nice looking" roll bar.

Looks great! I had done the !wire mod last summer but I just got around to pulling the a.i.r. pump and e.g.r this past weekend. Looks so much better in there. Oh and re-route the hood release cable too!

thanks for the comments guys...

- swandogg25 - groud wire, hood release along with PCM loom are next...
- Kens_02SS - those are stainless bolts with lock tighted nuts.
- RealDealCamSS - no cage on my watch. It's just a drop top cruiser but thanks for the props.
- 2 SLOW -$9,999.99 today only!!!

Some day I'm gonna relocate pcm and fuse boxes under dash where the heater core was where ther is plenty o' room. Than I want to figure out a way to minimze the power steering pump by lowering out of site...than there's that master cylinder, hum that's gonna be tough. Basically, many winter projects a head for a car that never will be finished.
