Under hood wiring

Has anyone tried to hide as many wires as possible in the engine bay?
I am working on my 87 LX bird and want to make the engine bay as slick as possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks Gdub

I hid all the wires i could in the inner fenders and in front of the core support. I'm carbed so it was easy with efi I'm sure it can be done.

a lot of wires will need to be shortened/lengthened for a full-on wire tuck.. aside from a wire tuck, what makes these cars look a LOT better is filling in all those  holes.. in my opinion, that is the WORST looking part of any fox car.. shaving the holes and a mini wire tuck make under the hood SO much more appealing, while still retaining some sort of 'factory appearance,' in my opinion.. a full on wire tuck with the holes shaven is just shagY, like pictured above

That's a mighty fine job, Did you use regular body filler to get it that smooth?

I agree with you Shadow, I have been working filling all the small holes but want to make sure I don't fill the big ones I may need  later ;>)
