Default '40 wiring under the hood

I have wired the body , dash, firewall to engine but where do I lay the loom from the dimmer switch to horn and headlights. It is a Drake wiring loom. If the pics print, please review and comment.

thanks,

fordman

The harness wire to the headlights and horn runs along the top of the driver side frame rail with the two horn wires connecting to the horn relay which is bolted to the top of the frame rail and with one headlight harness wires continuing along the top of the frame rail to the driver side headlight and across the bottom edge of the back of the radiator top tank to the right side head light. There's a special "U" shaped wire harness metal strip that is soldered along the bottom edge of the top tank with little tabs that bend over the wire and hold it in place so it won't get caught in the fan blade.
