Default CHEAPER THAN PAINLESS WIRING W/ SAME QUALITY

I am in need of a complete wiring harness, but do not really want to spend 600+ on a painless wiring kit. I have a 65 fastback and was hoping anyone with knowledge on this subject could tell me if there is anything cheaper than painless, but close to as simple.

Buy the reproduction harness, not sure if it's going to be that much cheaper than the painless, but it should be alot easier than the painless to install! I have all repro under my hood and it fits perfect! I was lucky enough that my under dash harness was not all hacked up!

You might could look into Centech...I'm currently restoring an Early Bronco, and Centech is cheaper than Painless for it.

Other than that, I would also suggest repro.

are you looking for new wiring or just wiring? i just pulled all the wiring out of my 66. every thing is in great shape except for the rear section. wires came loose but it was working when pulled.

To Lucafu1, I am looking for a whole new harness, everything is blown out and not usable. Thanks everyone else. I am checking out all the recommendations as we speak.

I bought my painless kit for $550, and it was incredibly easy to install in my 67 coupe.

i would steal a fuse panel out of a new car and wire it in with that nice silicone insulated wire and plus you will leave fuses open for future expansion
