How to Finish a Wire Tuck Like a Boss | WideFox Build

- If you've watched the last two video releases on completing an engine harness tuck, you know that I've slimmed down the engine harness by removing the salt & peppers shaker connectors and then fed everything I could back into the cabin area.
This video shows how to start covering everything with Design Engineering (DEI) Split Loom to make it look great and hidden. The process starts by covering the small harnesses like injectors and individual wires, then going into the larger harness loom and into the main loom. Start at the end of the harness and work backward to the firewall grommet adjusting length as you go for each wire.
On the inside, it will become a mess as I show. That's OK. Once you have a clean breaking point at the firewall, you can then determine what length each wire should be to reach the new ECM position under the passenger seat. From there, you cut, and lengthen each wire until you're done.
All the material I used to complete the work is in my Amazon store for reference. DEI Split Loom (all 3 sizes), cutters, solder, soldering iron, etc.
I also just jumped on Twitter. You can follow me there also as well as the other social outlets.

No BS you did an amazing job 👍🏼
Thanks!
Youre absolutely correct when you talk about doing the wires. One by one, cutting and, soldiering, to get rid of the bunch & also about a time and patience.
I don't think I could have done the whle job unless it was wire by wire. I had to do it all in small sections an few wires at a time as I had the time to work on it. It worked out though, which was fantastic.
Looks great! You must have a lot of patience.
Justin Powell 's fox body channel Thank you. I had enough patience to get that section done. It took me a couple weeks, and I just worked at it a little every night. Tedious work and when I didn't feel like touching it I just did something else. Editing makes it look quick and painless.
Love the channel, have seen so many videos really help with my foxbody build. Keep up the great work 👌
Thanks for watching, and I'm glad they can offer some help with your build.
The cloth electrical tape would look a little nicer but you did a good job!
Awsome job!!
Thank you. I really like how it came out. It's clean and tucked out of the way.
Hey nice job!
Thank you. I was happy with the finished product.
might be a good idea to make sure the car runs before you totally wrap all the wiring.
I plan to. I am not covering the wiring any more than it is until it runs. Anything in the engine bay can be quickly uncovered as needed. I already made one mistake that had to be fixed, but I didn't show it.
You are way more ambitious than I am.
The whole car was a personal challenge to see what I could do. Could I wire the whole car and integrate multiple harnesses together? Could I complete the whole widebody setup with bodywork, suspension, and then vinyl wrap it? It's my experiment and challenge to continually build harder projects. Thanks for watching!
Good video, subscribed
Thanks for joining the journey!
Hey how did you do the top part of the side panels that run from headlights to strut towers.
It looks like one panel bent around.
I have a mk4 gti vw & am looking for a way to do this with mine
The metal, or wiring? The Fox Mustang engine bay is continuous metal (albeit multiple pieces welded together). Everything that I painted is original Ford metal.
@@BasinMotorsports the panel. It looks amazing
hey bud...also love your vids. thanks
