he is referring to tucking the wires in cavities of the body like you would an old 50's coupe. The use of the term makes me wonder what his age is or the people his father had around during his upbringing......... That is a term i have not heard in a lifetime.
I dont see an introduction thread in the general section but I expect to find one sometiem tomorrow!

At least four people have asked me if I'll be doing a "wire tuck" on the GSX I'm rebuilding so it seems to be a pretty common description for hiding as much wiring and hoses as possible to improve the engine bay cosmetics.

Im a regular on Honda-Tech and that is the term commonly used. Im interested in pics of the wire tuck and engine bay shaved. By shaved I mean all unneeded holes welded and filled shut.

I gave up on shaving the holes. I figured fresh paint and no wires was enough for me!

Really??? not tryin to be an ass or call all of you OG's but...
I can't think of even the most riciest guys in the scene not knowing what a wire tuck is...actually that should make you feel younger.
Gotta remeber, trends cycle though generations and whenever they resurface all the young guys think its new...till the OG's show em its not...
I actually have something of an idea that it was a kinda new thing...but a wire tuck in the fifties???? wow. That's some history ed-u-mi-cation for me.
But continue...i wanna do this too while my enigine is still out.
I love my car... I love Horsepower... I love reliability... So why do i own a DSM again?
