[DeTomaso] Now, that was easy!

[Garth Rodericks]

I just did that a few weeks ago on my car. I also removed the steel tabs that 
held the wiring harness and the ac hoses as they're also routed behind the 
fender.

Possibly one of the easiest cosmetic alterations I've done was to relocate the 
wiring harness that runs inside passenger side of the back trunk to the wheel 
well.  For those who, like me, wondered why Detomaso didn't do that in the first 
place, I suggest you spend an hour doing the relocation yourself.  Forgive me if 
this is widely known, but I didn't know it.  Simply unplug the connector near 
the coolant tanks, write down the wiring order that goes into the connector, use 
a jewler's screwdriver to compress the clips from the front of the plug, and 
simply pull the wire & wire connector out of the bulky white plug that is too 
big to fit through the fender hole.  With the wires free, feed them through the 
fender hole where rear running light goes out.  The wire is long enough to run 
along the top of the frame rail in the wheel well.  Simply put the wires back 
into the white plug, hook it back up, and put some fasteners to keep the wire in 
place on the frame rail.  Why didn't they do this to begin with?  --  Rob
