but.. how easy is it to access the wires if you needed to change something?

wire tucks are not for the indecisive :D

I had to change distributors and it wasn't too bad... as long as there's no major change to the setup, you won't need to get back into the harness.

Yep dash is back in. I have to put in the upper and lower center console though... so there's some visible wires below the radio area.

I'm going to be using the plugs for the fire wall instead. i have a few holes left open so i can finish my tuck but i shaved a 97% of all the holes. for the brake lines i was going to use ss braided lines? how hard is it to work with the hard line?

Yeah this is kind of difficult to do, so I wouldn't attempt if it sounds hard. And take a ton of pics as you go so you can look back at the pics to see how things were. If you've never worked on wiring harnesses or installed a stereo before then don't even think about doing a wire tuck. :death:
