Good job keep the wiring videos coming. I have the same harness and I’m doing it in a few weeks. I need all the help I can get with the harness install lol
A good drink and some good tunes and loose yourself in the mess, when the wiring is all done I'm actually going to get it all cleaned up I'll cut out all the loose ends and then I'll end up posting a simplified wiring harness directly for a T Bucket I have yet to find one online that's not just generic. Just got all the extra connectors back in so I'll get posted again for part two you're very soon hopefully that'll help you out or give you at least a general idea
Just watched the series so far very impressed on your build, how you explain and added humor. I was in process of collecting parts, building a motor, and making a budget for a bucket in 2011 the kid changed college and there went the funding and never recovered. So watching your build is really enjoyable.Very good videos and hope your project success!!!!
I've been looking at the same harness for MONTHS! My bucket already has a homemade harness from the original builder, but I wanted a new and fancy harness that added turn signals, running lights, etc. Still haven't installed it haha! Now it's too nice outside to tear it apart.
Hey drive it for the summer and now you got a winter project that'll take you a couple weeks, the harness does leave a lot to be desired too I will it's good quality but it is missing some items it's not super complete. Unless I was just missing things 🤣
Wiring is never fun. Can be overwhelming if approached as one big task. Continue as your doing. One thing at a time. Baby steps still get you to the Finish Line. Nice work!
I am fortunate to have wired airplanes for a living. It can be tedious to wire up a project but once you are done it won't seem so bad. I can't believe how many wires they included in your kit. Unfortunately it seems you are a victim of one one kit fits ALL applications. I am OCD and it would drive me crazy to "Cap and Stow" so many unused circuits. I swapped a V8 Vega once and I went through the car and removed all redundant wiring that was not used for my swap. Chevrolet used the bulkhead connector at the firewall to split the harness in half. I even learned how to de-pin and re-pin wiring at the bulkhead. I'd go as far as reuse bulkhead connector pins. You could not tell the harness was not stock. It looks like you're going to have a bunch of wiring left over. Me personally I'd remove it from the harness to simplify matters. Your usage may vary depending on what you decide to do. The plus side of buying the harness kit is that each wire was individually number stamped. I'm assuming that every 6 inches or so the number is stamped on the wire. You being color blind without those stamped numbers you would be screwed as you wouldn't know what wire you had. Raw wire doesn't come number stamped as far as I know. In the airplane business it is stamped in the wire shop during "Cut and Code" where the wires are cut to length and coded with wire numbers and harness numbers. All wiring I worked with on airplanes came in the same color - white. Hang in there. I went on the first East Coast Power Tour (there were only 2) in 1998. Drove my V8 Vega. If you have an old Hot Rod my car made some of the photos. Driving an open car is going to beat you up. Lots of sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat. A cooler with bottled water will come in handy too. Keep your content coming. You are making memories.
I'm red/green deficient (partial color blindness) and I've been doing car wiring for some time. I can see all the colors, but when they get away from the primary ones - red, yellow, green, etc, I have to stare and compare. It's a pain but I've made it work. I'm currently a Quality Inspector of jet engines, where ALL of the wiring is either white, or candy striped, or all blue, all yellow, etc. Thankfully I'm not troubleshooting those bad boys!

i think it would be cool to build a T bucket with a merlin or ford GAA engine all polished up nice..it would be different for sure
Now that would be something that I don't think I have seen yet!

thanks for watching! Hopefully you can get around to doing one again very soon. Really enjoying it but it does it up

Thanks for the tips!
@@GearHeadzGarageUSA i just did my c cab same harness its a pain but 1 wire at a time until there isnt any more
@@mikehays8404 did you end up using most of it, I trimmed about everything out
@@GearHeadzGarageUSA I did. Think I cut 3 circuits out. Instructions are horrible for sure. But after I got started. Went pretty quick.

Hey man,
The dog didn't eat my homework....
LOL.....
I have it if you need it.
Can ship on my dime.
That was hilarious
Hey! I appreciate it, I ended up finding the missing pages, they fell behind the work bench. They did have k9 teeth holes in them though!
Color coded wiring harness

Color blind
= Me bald and probably a lot of stinky blue smoke
Right!!! Bad combination
