Hey guys,

Getting things ready to send the Tomato off to the body shop and something I thought of today is the wiring for the sirens, police radio and other non-stock electronics I'll be installing in the car. While looking for a good place to hide the wiring in the engine bay (above the passenger side wheelhouse inside the fender) I next stepped inside to find a good spot to come thru the firewall. I found this dimpled area in the passenger side front footwell that I think would be ideal, but since I have my fenders installed, I really can't tell where it's going to come thru on the engine side of the firewall.

Anybody have access to the firewall side of this dimple so I can determine if it will work? Hopefully it's not where the body mount cavity is!! Wacko

THANKS ALL

 but you should have enough clearance for wires to run between it and the inner fender up to the inside of the fender brace

Thanks CJ..... just ordered an endoscope for my phone so I can maneuver the camera into the cavity to see what obstacles may be in the way.
