LOL! I'm finding there is a pretty big market for my skills but I'm content sitting at my desk doing IT work... I don't think I could charge enough to make it worth my while. I do love working on things like this though. If only I had more time....

69 Camaro rewired!

As I stated in my first post which you quoted. You want to keep going?
Besides that, the stock location of my 71 has the fuses mounted up under the dash which you can somewhat see with a mirror but really you have to lay on your back with your chest almost touching the steering wheel and your feet on the headrest with a crick in your neck that only a chiro would like. Or take the seat completely out, which is what Ive done. That's just to get to the fuses much less do anything.
Further, the instrument panel is all printed circuits, which to get at is a bear of a job just to get to much less fix. And some of the wiring does not match the diagram so you are forced to split looms/tape to chase individual circuits. Throw in some crusty connections on ancient wiring that have to be chased down and I stand by my statement that old wiring is a pain.
Yup, Im doing the same thing next time!
I'll get the fuel injection looms/harness prefabbed it makes it so much easier and quicker to converge with the existing. Congrats on the job.
I like the sound of the Camaro.......but not as much as the ZR-1 LT5 startup video you posted! Sounds hungry like it's about to eat something! Cool video's! Thank's

I've got a complete harness from American Autowire for my current project. Time saver for sure.
that's what i found..they give you plenty ..i mean plenty of extra wire...most end up in the floor,but otherwise a good kit with lots of instructions..thick manual
what are you restoring?
53 F100. I posted it in the "what's in your garage" build thread.
Good job. I got tired of my car suddenly dying on my so I had it rewired. My mechanic had just got through rewiring his '68 Firebird so it was still fresh in is head when I had him rewire my '67 Camaro. Zero electrical problems since then....
Don't crush them....restore it. The original recycling!

Sweet JD! That is beautiful!!
Here's a touch of custom on the '69:
Unfortunately, we didn't make it to C&O, things got too hectic and if you don't get there at 6am, you don't get a spot!
Next year
