You have the whole car or just the engine?
I have the whole car, and here it is.

Another approach to cable management is to use a series of copper tubes, like in this 1911 Rolls Royce (not mine, unfortunately.

For the more budget minded... zip ties save the world. Seriously, I think a can probably build a car with zip ties and a dremel....

man.. that color combo is killer. un..beh.. lievable car. Makes you feel like James Bond every time you get in and out of the car.. no wonder @frankc is always running round in a tux talking about how he likes his martinis shaken.. not stirred and that time he saved the world from a maniacal villain.

how cool is that? super nice car.

Back in the day I used to care about wire management...

Here's one of my first drones I built, I had cable sheathing, and everything on it:

Another one a few years later.... I stopped sheathing them at this point.

Even when I got my first 3D Printer I sheathed the cables... (I should have cut them smaller, but I wasn't sure how much slack they needed to move).

My tank on the other hand... pretty messy:

It's mostly because cable lengths are never right. I have been thinking about what discussed in a tank journal post about cutting the wires and installing a IP68 connector in-line so that you can do maintenance on them easier...

I have my cables essentially in 2 sections, the first powerbar is under the stand and what is plugged into is is equipment that is removed for cleaning/service like the skimmer and the second powerbar I have is in a separate compartment that things like lights are plugged in.
