Its easy to be clean when the battery and electrical componants have been removed.

The car was obviously repainted and the valve cover is scratched to hell. I suspect the pic you are seeing is just after reinstalling the motor after a repaint and they hadnt replaced everything yet.

Yah, it's just after a repaint, with everything else removed... Interesting they'd install the STB before the other crap, though.

well i asked the guy what the deal was and he said they did remove the abs unit and the cruise control. So the rest MIGHT be legit. Even so i'm trying it while the car is up for the winter.

It's not that much of a wire tuck. Battery and fuse boxes have been moved. A/C and Cruise control was removed. I'm assuming the electric steering was removed as well (and not tucked).

Removing peripherals is the easy way to tucking.....

If it was detailed, the slave cylinder, brake booster, and hard lines could be hidden behind a faux firewall.

There's no ac either. No ABS on a street car is asking for trouble.

I mean, i guess it would be possible to move the fuse boxes to the inside of the fender, along with the wires, but could you imagine blowing a fuse

This car came from the Birmingham AL area. It was a World of Wheels show car with a custom turbo, but it didn't run much. It was even is Superstreet article a few years ago.

Looks like the turbo has been yanked, the car un- lowered and now driving instead of being pushed onto some mirrors and carpet
