      Jim, you make a good point. In some cases I did remove some of the wire ties. In others I didn't want to. Though I used an AAW Highway 15 kit, we heavily modified the kit and used it primarily for materials. I bought an "OEM" type "rear" harnesss (tail lights, brake lights, etc) but the only OEM type connections the entire car has is:

      Tail/brake/rear signal/reverse/license lite in the back
      Headlights/front signals/horn
      Wiper

      Everything else is custom. That includes everything. I removed the bulkhead connector and welded the opening shut in the firewall. I cut a hole just above the passenger vent and another in the passenger firewall up high and hidden by the fender. In both spots I put an grommets like http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SIT-GS1003-8/ . Ignition and Coil are under the dash.

      What this means is that I can relatively easily route another wire, but there is about zero possibility of needing to. I'll go out on a limb and say that the chances of adding something that needs power is very close to zero. Matter of fact, I'm trying that approach with everything. I'm building this car exactly like I want with no reservations right now. But, because I'm really trying hard to hide ALL the wiring I can, I need to keep stuff tight - plus the less movement you have between wires, the less they will chaff, and the lower likelihood of problems later. At least that's the theory.

      Does anyone have any experience with one of those tools that help feed wires into this sleeving stuff like I'm using?

      With the better loom, you really don't need the wire ties. I'll use one or two were the wires branch out, but that is all.

      Huh? Can you describe what you mean?
