E139 Pt 1 - Installing the American Autowire Classic Update Wiring Harness! 1956 Chevy Bel Air Resto

[@jimibeaudet4395]

Your video is fantastic. The most comprehensive Tri5 American Autowire how to by far ! Right on time also for me , I just cracked the box open and started getting myself familiar with the harness. Your introduction helped me a whole lot! Thank you...

I have to finally leave a comment just to say Thank You for all your "Christine" Videos . I am in the process of not restoring but updating a 1956 210 2 Door Sedan ,1970's old Hot Rod just like her and this series has been a lifesaver for me . I can't begin to tell you the number of times I have referred to You for help in the last 7-8 months . I know nothing about electricity or wiring but after watching this and waiting for Part 2,I think I'm going to give it a Go !! Again , Thanks for this entire series of Information.

Great job Bill! Another excellent video. It’s great to see how other guys do things. The tips and tricks of others is invaluable. She’s getting so close!

You’re awesome you give the average man hope like me and others when I wire my double nickel 💯thank you!

Wow man very tedious even with the kit. Great job on this she's looking good!!! Thx!!

[@bobeaseshop9389]

I'm hanging with ya here. Always good to solder connections. I'll be in for part 2.

Great video, getting ready to start the same process on my '55. I have practiced the crimping, but not easy. Your tip of putting the terminals in the crimper ahead of time is genius! An idea also for those rivets might be to tin the ends of the wires ahead of time to keep them together.

Having fun Bill. Nice to see Deuce helping out. My new front turn signals came with pigtails. I will be closely watching as I have to do that. That's nice they give you a lot of options. Go into detail on that distributor I have the a pertronix also but not all that familiar with it.

[@DavidMueller-kp7sy]

I am totally enjoying the wiring procedures. Thank God for detailed instructions. I look forward to Pt 2.

[@las6418]

Just wanted to say thank you for the video! We’re currently working on a ‘55 and will be installing the same AAW harness.

[@johncornell3665]

Quite the job for sure. But should be reliable for years. Appreciate your patience on doing the videos, Bill!

There you go

One thing I enjoy is the wiring ... I make my own using a harness out of a late '70s Chevy to start with ... I have to admit I cringe a bit when I see you laying on those fresh fenders ... keep at it ...

[@rickyouthouse9583]

I hope you were able to go to cruisin the coast i know you have been working very hard she looking really good, Wife and I were coming back from Alabama visiting our son and daughter n law today and saw some of the cars going to the event i sure thought i was going to make it with my 71 cutlass convertible maybe next year

Sooo glad you are making these videos!! Good reference, for both us and you! And I luv your attitude. Having never installed one of these wiring kits before, I'm afraid I would be defeated before I started from fear of the unknown! ;) However, even though it's a complete kit, it sure seems to require a lot of 'extra' work! I have not pulled the wires from my car yet. Have not decided if I should jerk everything out, or removed them circuit by circuit?? My car came off the drag strip years ago, and doesn't even have a fuse block!! :(

[@MagaRickn]

You may have covered this before, but what brand is that wiring tool you are using?? :)

[@mikea.2306]

Thank you for posting this. One word of advice. Clean your camera lens just before starting to record. Several of your videos have a haze all over it.

[@RestoringChristine1956]

@mikea.2306 sorry about that, but it's really a busted lens. I just fixed it last night, so future videos (141 on) should be clear.
