    Wiring is one of those things that requires a lot of patience and attention to detail to make look good. A quarter inch on one wire can make a huge difference in the way the harness looks. I have done a couple of vehicles, an airplane, a different airplane from scratch and a couple of avionics harnesses and still can’t get a harness to look like I want. Always end up with a short or long wire somewhere that messes with the routing and overall look. I think it’s as bad or worse than paint prep for a good paint job.

    3weeks is not bad at all. Wiring is slow tedious work. Fact��

    Yeah, tedious work. I am fortunate to have a cousin who specializes in trouble shooting late model vehicle wiring. Will be recruiting his help��

    Those are few and far between. I have one that's pretty rough still attached to a spare set of doors, but no key. The set I have on our wagon actually unlock using an International Harvester tractor key. I'm not sure if it was originally that way, but the key opens the driver's door and fits the ignition too.

    There is a set of N.O.S. ones on Epay, but hold on to your wallet;
