All good stuff, but I had to read through it a couple of times....

I fully understand your approach, but there's no way I would put saving ten feet of heavy gauge wire over the convenience of having all of the relays in one, centralized location. And if mounting them close to the load meant exposing them to splash, spray and weather that would be an immediate pass for me. Especially considering that this is a '34 Coupe with no place to locate stuff out of sight, I'd mount them all together, near the fuse block. Other than the ACC circuit, I cannot think of any group of loads that are served from a common switch, which is the only thing that would support one relay feeding two or more devices but I may be overlooking something. Just my $0.02.
