Tricks and tips on cleaning up unnecessary wires & holes in the engine compartment

[jeffg1010]

I recently started on the Blazer that I’ve owned for quite a while. Yeah I know, wrong forum... but there is a lot more activity in here so since they are the same under the hood I’m posting on here.

I hate under my hood. It’s a mess. Overspray, unused holes, loose and ratty wires. It looks like crap. So I’m starting there.

Can anyone share tips or tricks on how they cleaned theirs up? There is a lot going on in the firewall area so I’m not sure what all I can get rid of. I’ve never owned a welder but I’m considering getting one just so I can get rid of all those holes. What style do I need?

And of course, if you’re gonna talk about it, we’ve gotta see some pics of yours!
