Well, here's my Vette..
I'm kind of new around here, so I just wanted to show everyone what's going on in the garage....
The beginning of a beautiful relationship 
Motor's so fast it's already gone!
Vanacor's 4" cowl hood
Interior getting a 2004r shift plate ahd a trans temp guage
oboy-alot of work to do down here. Any suggestions on how to organize the engine compartment, it looks like a maze of spaghetti and a mess in there? I plan on mounting a fuse block from Mad electric somewhere. Any suggestions on how to get this in order? Thanks!

Mount the fuse block and relays on the fender well next to the alternator, Rerout the heater hoses up under the fender and come in more from the side to the pump/intake. Look into custom ac hoses, that way you can route them higher in the fender away from the exhaust, I had a lot of problems on my 77 with heat eating them. I would run all the vac hoses under the hood surround part of the fenders too to keep them out of sight as possible. Bundle and wrap the electrics as much as you can, that ought to spiff it up a might. Good luck, I start all this and more next week on my 81

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you!
I'm interested in ideas on cleaning up the engine compartment as well.
Sixfooter, do you have any pics of yours after you did all that rerouting?
