Default Engine Bay Clean Up

I've seen a couple cars in person, and tons on the internet that have their wiring harnesses hidden away and I'm wondereing how exactly is this done? Is there a kit or something?

Any other suggestions to clean up the bay would be much appreciated.

Its all done by hand. Cutting, splicing, rewiring. In my 83 the only thing I had to do was cut off the head light sockets to get all the wiring out of the bay but other than that its all what your mind can come up with to do.

I only had to cut and splice and lengthen 2 sets of wires; 1 set to the A/C compressor and 1 set to the Over Flow bottle.

It's not that hard to do believe me, otherwise I couldn't have done it.

Some stuff can be run through the inside of your fenders.
