First you've got to make firm decisions about "stock" vs "modified".  If you
want stock wiring, call Rick @ SS.  If you want to do you own design, you
can use the materials found in Street Rod Mags.  I've used the Street Rod
PCB systems and you have to know what your doing in order to get everything
working correctly.  A typical example of this problem is the turn
indicators.  My PCB used the interupt relay before the selector switch, so
two dash indicators were required, one L & one R.  The problems grow from
there but they are all workable.  Just be sure that you make good diagrams
of what you create so you can retrace and fix problems.  The other
interesting problem is finding color coded wire in as many combinations and
sizes as required in reasonable quantities, for reasonable funds.  It's
challenging, but don't feel alone if when you get it all done it burns up a
ground wire in the middle of a loom, just because of a freak problem no one
would ever expect.  It all part of going "non-stock".
