I used painless on my 55 and AAW on a 67 Camaro and a 69 Camaro Classic Update Kit.

I would use AAW. Very pleased.

To me the $480 was a lot better then fooling around for days and days fixing an the existing wiring and still ending up with something less the perfect.

Invest in good strippers and crimpers if you don't have them. Heck I'll loan you mine if you need them:beers:

Wow, that's two offers on loans. :hurray: Todd also offered me his as well. I will definitely be taking you up on your offer as I could use the $200 for the tools on something else.

BTW, just ball park, how long to do the whole car hour wise, is it something like 15 hours or 45 hours? I know it varies but I'm just trying to get an idea.

Thanks again.

This is the place for advice and advisement, lend-lease and general good discussions.

The full body wiring will depend on what harness you go with. As most of us have said AAW factory fit, will give you the least issues with the project.

Then it is just a matter of how organized, and focused you are, and your physical ability to lay it out on a flat clean surface and then snake it here and there. A buddy can either be a helpful soul or a hindered fool in this project. Choose them as well as the harness.

I have seen some do it in a long three day weekend, or take three months. Just depends on you.

^^^^^^Best advice ever^^^^^^^

On something like this I like to do it almost 100% alone. This way I know exactly what was done and it's done how I want it done

I replace one harness at a time as opposed to ripping everything out at once. Gives you a good way to know where the wires route and connecters go utilizing the factory installed harness as a guide.

Takes me a weekend. I like to start early and I am pretty focused. I also have very little outside distraction. I really enjoy wiring and I've done a few.

I would say hour wise 24. You can easily have it done in 3 or 4 days or a couple of weekends.

I would suggest some dielectric grease for the exterior bulb sockets and picking up some wire ties and maybe some powerbraid to help neaten things up as you go.

Yeah I also dry fit as much as I can with original still in place. Then shoot a ton of clear reference pics.

Most of my projects are also solo

Brian and John, very good advice and points :yes:. I may have to send the wife and kids to the mother in laws house in Henderson (John knows where that is) so I have the least amount of distractions as possible. I like to do things all at once and I think I can get it done in about three full days.

I'm with you guys, I like doing it myself that way I know how everything is hooked up. Plus it would help me troubleshoot should I have problems down the road.

Didn't realize you were right here in Vegas.

I heard about that place. I might head up there for next weekend. I'll PM you later in the week for more details.
