So you don't like Ford wiring either?

Buy some wire loom material in your choice of color and bundle them and route them better if possible.

I've always wanted to run my wiring in the fender, but I don't quite know how to go about it. Do you have to do a bunch of cutting and splicing or is it a matter of rerouting? Where's the entry point from the engine bay to the fender that you used. Do you have a write up on it at all or pictures of it in progress? I'm sure I can figure out how to do it if I actually go out there and think about it for a while, but I just thought I'd ask for tips and suggestions.
