Question for those who've tackled the wire harness

I'm in the process of ordering parts for the goblin in anticipation of its arrival sometime over the next few months. I'd like to order some nylon wire loom and fasteners for attaching the harness to the frame. Rather than order a bunch of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" sizes I wanted to check here and see if there is anything you guys would add or a suggeston on length? i was thiking about 100ft 1/4 and 50 each on the 3/8 and 1/2

Looking here for some options:

We have decided to go with a green and purple color combo for our goblin.
For a theme; one of the girls was thinking of the Green Goblin from Spiderman and the other was thinking Hulk.
This one from your first link looks great, so now we are thinking to powder coat some of the accents pink instead of red.

Alex: Assume you own or used to own a Fiat X-1/9? I owned the first 1974 X-1/9 to arrive in Green Bay, WI back in the day. Loved that car. My brother Charlie has a newer X-1/9 that he turned into a track day 'wunder car' by swapping out Fiat drive train for Mazda 626 V-6 engine & trans. When that wasn't fast enough, he turbocharged it. Yikes! >8O

The X1/9 is the car that started my passion for all things with wheels...I've owned and restored a couple...the current one is going to be a prototipo style widebody. Once I get the metal work finally done!

74's are special, and to have owned a really early one back when they were new! If only I were alive in 74!

The 626 turbo swap sounds really unique and badass. Most guys go alfa V6 or Honda K20.
