Wiring

Looking to get my 68 Fastback completely rewired.  Can anyone recommend a quality shop to do this in S. California and what kind of cost would be involved?

Thanks, Bob

Why not just go to a place like national parts depot and get all the necesarry wiring harnes(S) and do it your self? You will save allot of money and allso you will get to know the car better. Just my two cents

I'd have to agree with Rob on this one. The wiring is an easy thing to do if you have patience and a good wiring diagram. Is your wiring giving you trouble or do you just want it done?

Figure 60-70bucks an hour, parts +55% mark-up and it comes to $$$$$$$$$$. I just did a search and just the basic harnesses(without accessories) is going to run you 910, now up that 50% and you've got a shop rate for parts of about 1300 and figure about a good 6-8 or so hours of labor and it's probably going to set you back about 1700. That's around here on the East Coast. I'm sure Cali labor prices are similar. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but you asked a question and I'm trying to answer it to the best of my ability.

The advice I can offer is(if you don't want to tackle it yourself)is to find restoration shops in your area, and call them or go see them and ask. Most shops will give you a decent estimate.

Thanks guys for the reply.  I've considered doing this myself, but having the time is one thing and making sure it is right is the other....  The Shelbys never seem to match the wiring diagrams exactly either..  Didn't think that original harnesses were still available...  Not that anything was wrong previously, but there had been lots of splices and such, so many that the harness was just a mess. 

Thanks, Bob
