Exclamation !Wire mod for LT1;s

Ive been looking for this mod forever and you can only find it for the LSx cars

And Ive seen quite a few of the LTx cars with it done but cant seem to find the how to or the write up.

The only thing Im confused about is how and where to put the red + box thats on the passenger side fender....

Thanks for your help.

It's really not any different. I think most people hide the grounds down by the battery?

What about the fuel lines one the drivers side? I've been meaning to do this for a while.

Its not really a mod as much as its just re-routing wires around and hiding them so they're out of the way to clean up your engine bay. I should do it on my car, that is after I do real mods to it

I just don't like the prospect of having all the empty holes from the clips and hold-downs that would be left over. Besides, you can use wire loom with discretion and make your engine bay look good.

here is mine so far. i moved the wires, fuse box, hood latch, fuel lines and welded all the holes up and smoothed them out. i also welded and smoothed the fender well pieces and hid the wire bundle that runs infront of the radiator along with the wires to the engine.
