    My apologies if you thought you would be seeing a shaved bay in this thread.
    Has anyone gone through and started "deleting" stuff in your bay? What stuff did you delete? any pics, or lists of stuff that can be deleted would help. Im not trying to shave everything, Im just tryin to clean it up a little.

    P.s. I have deleted the windshield wiper fluid system already.

    ^^^good point there:funnyup:
    well iRemoved a bunch of junk that iDidn't need when my stock carb crapped out. Exchanged the stock carb with a weber 32/36 n' got rid of that huge stock air cleaner. Took out all those vaccum hoses that iDidn't need(most of them were for the stock carb). The air pump iBelieve its called... i'm not too sure if you'll need that but its for emissions. oh and that pipe from the exhaust manifold. it was connected to some other emissions crap. iThink that was pretty much all that was removed from my engine bay. iDon't got power steering or a/c so my motor looks pretty naked haha

    Not sure what engine you have but I have the 22re. Relocate battery to bed. Remove ABS box thing on the front framerail. Cold air intake filter (mine is K&N) to the other side so that it's a shorter intake pipe. I tubbed my inner fenders since I'm bagged. But you could also weld shut all the holes on the inner fenders from things that have been moved (then smooth and paint).

    I have a 22r. But good call on the battery relocate, totally slipped my mind. Or maybe i will fab up a nice "case" for the battery and paint it to match the rest of the bay. And yea i plan to fill the holes from the stuff i delete/relocate as well as the holes in the hood for the deleted windshield sprayers or whatever you wanna call them. Im just trying to tidy up the wires and "accessories" because it looks fugly and messy how everythings all scattered around the bay.

    i modified a edelbrock filter housing for a v-8 engine to use on the 22r. i like the way it looks over the weber style cleaners
