Painless Wiring: Starting the Rewiring Project on my '68 LeMans

[@SD70ACE-]

I did my 67 lemans with the American autowire and am glad i did it, YOU GOT THIS MAN.

I’m doing the interior now and it’s kicking my butt 😅. Taking a long time but I’m working along switch by switch…

[@Rivercityvintage]

I ordered American auto wire for my 69 camaro 2 years ago and I was terrified to do it but I pushed through it and I’m glad I did it. It looks intimidating at first but trust me you will be very happy with your new harness. You got this!!!. I enjoy your videos and keep up the good work.

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

Thank you! Yeah, I've put it off too long. Just one wire at a time...

[@PeckerwoodKustoms]

Looking forward to following along...Im up to this right now too!!! Oh and I subbed :)

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been putting it off for too long. But I’ll get it done.

I kinda cut my teeth on stereo installs about 25 years ago. I would do about 2 installs a week. I've built harnesses from scratch. It's not that scary just time consuming.

[@jeffreyrigged]

I prefer solder where you can over crimps. I've had way to many fail. I know you pretty much have to on rings and spades but for junctions I always solder and heat shrink. I also like to put heat shrink over the plastic part of spades/rings. Just looks cleaner and has better water protection. I use a quick stripper. Really saves time.

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

Need to learn to solder real quick, too. Something I should have mentioned in the video.

[@jeffreyrigged]

@Rustrevivalgarage it's pretty simple. You will pick it up in minutes. Get a decent iron. The hf ones work better than Walmart. The Walmart one doesn't get warm enough.

@@Rustrevivalgarage hey I'll have a video that I show soldering in for you. I filmed it just got to edit

[@russbonneau9152]

you should have used the original harness after you cleaned it up, it looked fine.

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

@@russbonneau9152 Possibly. But too many things I wasn’t happy with. Too much I don’t know to say that I could trust it all. And I need to learn this.

[@russbonneau9152]

@@Rustrevivalgarage any questions i might be able to help. i would have not used that corroded divider plate on the water pump.

[@jeffreyurbain9604]

Probably take the steering wheel off. I’m assuming you will have to take out the dash. So that will also help with that. Good luck

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

You're likely right... and I'll need all the help I can get to fit in there! Thanks for watching!

[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

You can do it brother if you need my help just let me know

[@Rustrevivalgarage]

Thank you! I will, too. If I can get the fuse box in and secure I should be ok. Then learn to solder… and then, well, you know… 😂
