ok i've searched all these threads on here, ht and G2IC.com for ways to clean up my engine bay and i've noticed that some of the cars have like literally nothing in them. Now don't get me wrong it looks f'n nasty, but like in this pic for example, where do the tie rods or whatever mount to if that big piece of metal that runs across the car under the radiator is removed?

Called a wire tuck.

Look it up. I plan on doing one someday.

well so much for that! I know it's called a wire tuck, but the problem i have is figuring out how you run stuff through your fenders. Like the injector harness, I know you run it under the intake and the bring the wire sockets for the injectors up between the runners, but then what? How do you get the wire into the fenders?
