One of the things you should get with your kit is a wiring harness. Your kit not have one?

Ron Francis not bad. Likely a half dozen to a dozen street rod wiring harness companies advertize in Street Rodder.

A DC circuit still boils down to two wires. Hot, or +12v, and a ground. No matter how thorough the wiring set, you're going to have to do some custom fabrication yourself. It isn't going to be plug-n-play. The engine compartment, and under dash wiring will be where most of it gets done. Even the lights and horn wires could be too long, or too short. It only looks like a zillion wires, but each one performs a function. Understand what each function is, and how each function works. Then, if you ever have a glitch, you'll know where too look, and more importantly, why to look there. And then if you don't like it, how to change it.

Get familiar with a soldering gun and a crimping tool. It is tedious, but not difficult when broken down on a function by function basis.
