Steve, You forgot to mention that if the body was lifted, your stearing shaft would also be a problem. I used to make wire harnesses for aircraft, and that sleave your using is called Branded Loom. Here is an easy way to get the wire through is use a long wire from a coat hanger which is ridged and tape the electrical wire(s) on the end of a steel rod(coat hanger type wire will work). Thread the steel (rod) wire through the brade first then pull the wire through, bunch up the loom over both then disconnect the steel rod like a needle and tread. Now thread(electrical wire) part has the branded loom over it buched up. Cut and trim to fit. You could cut the brade with a hot knife which will melt the fibers of the brade or cut it then heat it to melt it back before you put heat srink over the ends. It's looking really good.
Wow! I apologize sir! I sure did not mean to insinuate that you do not know what you are doing. I enjoy watching you work on cars, and admire your attention to detail. I promise I will not make any more suggestions! I am 73 years old, and have had my 56 for over 50 years. Got a few tricks up my sleeve too, but I admire how you rise to the occasion when there is a problem to be solved. I put the 3/4" body mount spacers in my car over 30 years ago, with no problems! I will admit, I did not put the front bumper back on, so there's that. ;) I have a 1969 model 427 big block in mine, 4 speed Muncie, and posi rear end with slapper bars. I am old school, and like you, I don't give a crap who likes it or not. ;) But I sure did not expect any air time from someone that seems to be a master at making stuff fit. My car is not original, true. I meant no disrespect, I was just offering an idea. :( As for brake lines, mine are not original, got disc brakes and dual master cylinder, so theres that. Throttle cables, oh well, you get my drift. I will continue to watch you, but I promise I will never offer any advice! I'm old and set in my ways, so I can appreciate folks that don't need advice. ;) :) Keep up the good work! Rick Neighbors.
I like that for the wiring! It looks really good. I need to do that to my car. But my whole car needs to be restored again. Maybe some year.

Very excellent work as usual! For crankcase ventilation, does that engine block have a road draft tube that connects on the back of the block.
Braided loom and srink tubing only way to go...its always clean
😎👍😎
Hell why not put a 6 inch lift kit on ....what the heck
