What have I done???

So I was up late one night, having had too much Kona Gold, coffee that is. I decided to take it out on the BE. With the new wiring under the dash all organized and proper, I could not stand the ugly wiring on the right side leading to the rear lights, etc. So what did I do? I put it all behind the sheet meatal like the factory should have done in the first place. Drill some holes, feed the wires, protect the wires with hard plactic covers, put in the grommets, and done. About 4 hours. What do you think? Did I deface the old girl? Or am I a genius? Do I just have too much time on my hands, and should just get the fool car on the road!
Here is what it used to look like.

I think it is a good idea and actually planned on doing something similar whenever I got around to restoring my Bugeye. Looks good!

The orignal wires dropped behind foot well then route between the inner and outer sills up the rear fender inner housing along inner fender wall and came out over wheel well
