Ok so I havent updated the status in a few days. We are still working on the mild tuck. I havent had time to mess with it the past few days But so far we have removed most of the ac and power steering componants. Tonight we will be relocating the battery, fuse box, and hiding some of the harness. I will be removing the rest of the ac and power steering wires and lines, also the wind shield washer resavoir. Possibly installing my catch can if I go pick it up after work. We havent started any of the body work yet becasue i want to focus on one thing at a time and not get side tracked having a million things going on at once.
Like I said it is nowhere near done but I snapped a pic this morning before leaving for work just to give an update so here it is, over look the mess and dirtiness lol.

Very nice job. Where can I get some information on wire tucks? How much trouble is it to do the tuck? etc, etc....

I really like the look of a clean engine bay.

thanks guys. I still have my heat, just removed ac, ps, cruise control. Its been raining for 5 days straight so I'll get pix asap. The fuse box is under my glove box, battery is in the trunk in a battery box thats just held down with four screws. I don't know if there are any write ups on doing tucks. We just winged it. Stood over the bay and said "hey we can move this here and re-run this over here etc..etc.." Ill get detailed pix for ya showing indepth stuff soon. I call it a mild tuck because I havent wleded up all the old holes and repainted the bay yet, so until I clean it up I dont consider it finished. But thanks again for all the feedback. I'm glad to be apart of a forum where work is appreciated and not criticized _(speeleing).

Looks good. I want to see the new fuse box location and setup haha. Ive been wanting to move mine. Already have the PS and AC gone and have an LS swap in it. But I couldn't figure out where people are mounting the fuse box inside.

The fuse box is a pain because it is bigger and unless you want to cut extra wires the best bet is to put it under the glove box. Mine isnt bolted down yet, just laying there snug against the panels. I'm going to try to snag a few pix on my lunch here in a few minutes, looks like it stopped raining for a little.
