Motors in!! and ran the main wire harness.
Whats your guys opinion: Try to hide the wires in the fenderwall, or make it as clean as possible with the wires ran the stock way?

Normally, I'd say just run the wires normal, but you've closed up a all the holes the wiring loom uses to make it's way around the engine so I say hide it while you've got the fenders and whatnot off. Besides, you went through the trouble of smoothing everything out, I'd hate to see you cover it all up with all that crusty old wiring loom.

I would suggest an oem appearance. But, I agree with Buddha. You might have to hide the wires.

However, I found these addhesive hold downs for pull tie's. (I know it sounds a little cheezzy) Not sure how well it would WORK,,,, just a suggestion... may be different.

Buddah, thanks a bunch for that link. I needed that. I'm going that route. Can't say it will be as clean as those others, but I'll do my best. Thanks everyone for the advice and again, sorry about the size of the pics. I have to figure that out through my Droid.
I'd like for it to be done by spring but it still needs tires, complete alignment job, new battery, battery mount in the trunk, hopefully the brakes aren't rusted too bad that I need all new Rotors. And I'm sure as I go, I'll find more things I need to buy, but I'm getting closer every day. I'll keep the pics coming.
All I know is the day I start it, a fire extinguisher will be present. LOL.

I know that site I linked shows cutting wires and whatnot, but from what I understand, it's not nessacary if you strip the looms off, rearange everything, and the tape/loom it all back up.

Thanks willy. Buddah, that is more good tips because I'd hate to cut it. I will get more into it later this week, and do one side at a time.

Cut the original holes tonight and ran the wires through. Looks great and cleaned it up 100x's. I also drilled a hole for the hood release cable so it doesn't lay across the apron. Car is coming along, slowly but surely. I will post pics up soon of the progress, and I will figure how to resize from my droid. Hate those huge pics!
Still need stock tires or close to. Anyone have a used pair that would beat a new set shipped?

Took some more parts off a donor 91GT today. New brake lines installed, although its the wrong fitting on the Driver side. I'll figure that out later. Most of the connectors are hooked up and I have to order the vacuum parts that go behind the passenger side strut, the ones I got today were cracked and bad. I also went to the shop and removed the crappy tires from my rims today. They are in serious need for a paint job! On top of that, I ordered Nitto 555's, 245/45ZR/17's. They have good ratings and I got a great price on them through Tire Direct

maybe you could hide the ignition coil under the intake plenum , on the driver valve cover, and also move the starter solieniod behind the fender? that would make an even bigger difference.
