Wiring kits?

Haven't quite got the hang of the "quote function yet as I was trying to respond to famous bob.
I tried to keep my original harness as intact as possible. I just remember making the cuts, pulling it all out and seeing laying in the floor of the garage thinking "there's no turning back now". Its a nice feeling having new wire, connectors and such from headlights to tail lights and knowing that if one takes care and patience to do it correctly, you've likely eliminated most/all the electrical problems that come up with the old original wiring at every connection point, the fuse box, elimination of bulkhead connector, etc. As was mentioned, some think they need an "exact replica" of the original either due to their aversion to wiring thinking they will get stuck or maybe they have a show car that needs to be all original or as close to it as possible. My approach was pretty much dead-on with what seabee said with regards to kids, beer, time, and "added insurance". Someone mentioned a wiper harness...I did need to make that. Used my leftover wire from the kit and had all my colors..easy peezy. I've done temporary restorations on a section of wire when I didn't have the time or just for a quick fix but unless you have a an original complete factory wiring that is in perfect condition I think it would still be subpar to the newer/less expensive kits...for one the circuitry is usually more simple - the layout/connections..and that is important to simplify trouble shooting but more importantly makes the components more independent of one another. Stabile and reliable. For those considering purchasing a kit...just do your research on the features for what you want. A very nice kit can be had for around 300 maybe 350 or even less as was mentioned.
