:….Some of the more "interesting" lessons in life revolve around learning the hard way about the difference between price and value. And we all know some who never seem to learn that lesson….”

Very well said Bob. 30 years ago I bought a JC Whitney special headlight to taillight harness for a 58 Chevy I was building. It came out of Brazil is I recall correctly. The instructions were a copy of a copy of a mimeographed instruction sheet. Then to top everything off they only used 4 colors of wire (Red Black Yellow and Green). Of course there were no terminals, sockets, fuse box or plugs. That’s when I started just buying spools of wire and building my own harnesses.

I can sympathize Mike. I’m laying out and bench testing a custom gauge cluster for one of my projects right now. By the time all is said and done there are over 30 wires to identify, bundle, solder and connect to a plug. And that’s just the gauge cluster, my other bench is covered with the stereo, CD changer, speakers and battery for the sound system. I enjoy wiring but there was a reason I charged as much as I used to for doing for someone else.
