[DeTomaso] Now, that was easy! AC Hoses

[Mike Thomas]

I fashioned some aluminum strips which I fastened to the frame rail to act
as shields.  I only have my wires up there now.  AC will be front mounted
when I redo that.  The wires I held in place with 4 Adel clamps along the
frame.

Does anyone worry about rocks etc. being thrown up in the wheels wells and
damaging AC hoses or wiring?

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 DuMoulin
