If there was one thing about this build that I underestimated, it was the wiring. I thought "meh, some go to the front, some to the rear, a few underneath. Should take about an hour." OK, I'm exaggerating a little. I rarely give time frame estimates to anyone, because I'm usually wrong. My wife will ask when I'll be home for dinner. "Don't pressure me!" It's been a while since I've posted an article, hasn't it?
Now that you know a little bit more about me, I'll get back to the topic at hand. We're using a Ron Francis Express kit with accessory packs for everything - electric choke, headlight relief relays, hot start kit, dimmer control box, etc. etc... This makes it really easy for someone like me, who is a wiring virgin, to accomplish a neat and tidy job, and also one that a future owner of the car will appreciate because all the wires are labeled. This is my first wiring job, by the way.
I don't plan on going into great detail about how I wired every portion of the car. I think I will add to this article as the job gets completed, so you can see how I accomplished certain aspects of the project. I would appreciate hearing from some more seasoned (not necessarily electrocuted) wirers with little tips and tidbits on how I could have made the job easier.
First off, let me explain a simple principal I learned that will help you wire a vehicle: wires are matter, and matter occupies space. Keeping this in mind, let's move on.
