I wanna hide all the wires and make it nice and tidy, might even polish up the rocker cover etc,...

just wondering about some hiding places for things like wires, etc....

put part off the loom behind the bulk head, then for the headlight wires rad n fan etc these will all need extending and putting behind the wings, then can be put 2 the underside of the slam panel one you have drilled thro beside the headlight. Also you can put the washer bottle behind the bulk head. then save for some samcos always nice bailey header tank and some more polishing! what engine this for?

a good example is karl rowntrees he's extended his wires and hid them in the wings iirc
