Wiring help

I am looking for someone inthe Spfld. area who can help [I am willing to pay] wire my 56 F100. I just need occasional help ang guidance since I prefer to do my own work. Never wired a car and it gives me the hebbie jebbies.
Any suggestions?

 

can't help , too far away.....i suggest you get the book "how to wire a street rod" and try it yourself. it's not that hard

 

I am not in Springfield but about 75 miles away and I do visit my daughter and family at Ozark regularly. I do wiring and I will help you if I can. You can PM me for my phone number if you want to.

the wiring kits come with step by step instructions that makes it pretty easy for anyone to do. if you have mechanical ability it will be easy. take your time and double check everything.
i have a customer that wired her car herself with the help of her 10 year old nephew [he fit under the dash] she thought it was very easy!

 

I will take you up on it soon. We know each other from the local shows.
Thanks.
I need to repaint the interior and will be ready to go.
I also found some misc. parts for the caddy motor your brother bought from me. We will get together at some point.

 

I've never wired a car before my 63 Buick Riv. I bought a generic kit from Ron Francis. I remember staring at the box thinking why did I gut the stock harness? Once I got going it ended up being really cool work. The instructions were easy to follow. Just go for it.

Suggestion - Hire someone to wire the car and have you as a helper.

If you've never rewired a whole car, it can seem daunting. It's not that hard but if you had someone who has done it before to take the lead , you could learn a TON of information. Less expensive than school. Persons who have some experience usually have some really good tips and tricks that you could pick up on.


Just a thought. Good Luck either way.

These old cars are a piece of cake to wire.
But you really don't know that until you jump in and do it.


After you've done a few ( or even one) with 160 wires in just one harness branch you know just how easy they are.

 

Of all the jobs we do building a car, the most enjoyable one for me is wiring. It is clean, no heavy lifting, and you can just take your time and spread it out for as long as it takes. Just a few simple tools is all it takes, instead of the usual "dragging out every tool you own" projects.

The kits have really made it soooooooooo much easier, especially ones that have good, easy to follow instructions, like American Autowire, Rebel, and Francis. Glad you found someone to help you through your first one.
