I'm working on doing some clean up under the hood and looking for some ideas on how far to go with smoothing up the firewall. I don't want to completely go flat, but I can do pretty much anything since my master cyl is under the floor, no wiper motor, no bulkhead wiring connector and all wiring runs under the inner fenders.

I know I have seen some pics of Bigtime's Dart and it looks pretty sanitary. Please post some pic's of what you have done.

I ran all my wiring through the frame rail and came out right behind the motor plate. There is a plug right there so the wiring just unhooks.

Nice work Doug. Your car is almost to nice to get dirty at the track.

I thought brake lines couldn't run over the clutch or converter without being shielded (in a race car)

I know this is off the topic, but I'm thinking about relocating my master cylinder. You had mentioned about mounting yours under the floor. Is yours like a steet rod set up and do you have any pictures?
