I'm the same way, gotta make them fit somehow! One thing I've started doing is using neon skin signs to go over any section of wall that has outlets, that way you aren't covering the outlet access.

IF we could pump our own fuel, WE would leave the guts in. BUT that ain't the case, it's NOT like a car you could jump in & drive around the block or in a parade 1x or 2X a year.

You sound like my Father when I wanted to buy a 60's Muscle car.He wanted me to buy a Model T & said no one wants a hot rod.
Today he apologizes everytime a Mecum,R&S or Barrett Jackson type auction runs.
