As I remember somebody said something about using some kind of hose for conduit for the wires going to the rear. Other people had other ideas. Don't know why I didn't print it since it seemed so useful.

I had noted that on many street rods, the wiring took last place in the fight for space (behind X-members and fuel & hydralic piping), so I took advange of the unsued space behind the boxing plates. You can see several shots of how I did this here: http://hotrodders.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/25779/cat/500/page/1 This is definitely not the route for restorers!
Everything is different now...
