Default Wireless Engine Bay

I recently found a beautiful picture of an engine bay where there were no wires visible whatsoever. I decided to try this wireless look on one the the mustangs I am restoring and need some help. These are the questions I have any suggestions for were to place wires would be awesome. I will start with a battery relocation kit and put it in the trunk.

1. Where do I put the starter solenoid?

2. I have a 6al box installed with an msd right now should I scrap it and get a different ignition or can I relocate and were to?

3. Does anyone know of a good battery relocation kit

4. Can wires be ran outside the engine bay?

Any help would be great and if you have an idea of were to hide a wire please tell me.

Get a starter with the solenoid built in.

Look into a one wire alternator.

I ran all my wires under the driver side fender. All that is visible in the engine compartment is a single feed containing the coil, water temp and oil pressure switch wires. I did not put the battery in the trunk though. If you put the solenoid in the trunk along with the battery, the cable will not be powered all the time, if you keep it in the engine bay, the cable is hot it's full length. Just some food for thought.
