if you can follow instructions and a few essential tools, you can install it with little to no issue. if you do have an issue, there tech support is great or you can call us direct, we have installed dozens of their kits.

AAW all the way. Should take about 20-25 hours with clear schematics and a great tech line. I have seen it mounted behind the kick panel on driver or passenger side with an access door to get to it. Clean and easy to check fuses

What tools are required?

Also does it tell you how to conceal wiring?

Must control sarcastic urge...:captain:

Is that a weird question?

No JC. As usual, I was just teasing. IMO, plumbing and wiring in a resto is really an art form. Hacks like me can get it done with the help of buddies and beer, but if you want it to look professional you at least need guidance from a pro.

Most instruction sets don't include this info. Please don't let my light hearted comments deter you. You can do this! :thumbsup:

You can say that again. I put a Painless harness in my car about 4 years ago and I just ripped it out while I'm updating the car. Huh, Painless my a$$. :mad: It will be AAW for me from now on.

What tools will I need?

I just put in an American Autowire Hwy 22 kit -- with a trunk mount extension kit.... it's pretty nice kit and the wires and instruction (for what they're worth - when you're doing everything custom...).

But when I was at SEMA I checked out the Ron Francis booth - and my next cars will run their stuff. I felt the wire quality was better....

In order to keep the clutter down under the dash - I built a rack that tilts down - and this area is behind an upholstered headboard...

I made it tilt forward so if the battery needed to come out - you can just drag the battery over it... thus the components are all to the driver side.

The key is that all the wiring is labeled every few inches... and it's all color coded.

After that - it's up to the "installer" to a nice neat job with good crimps and protection from chafing and making runs that don't end up looking like your mothers spaghetti. :unibrow:
