Default Wiring

Hey all. I need to wire my 72 project. It has nothing in it at all, period, and at this point I dont know if I'll have time to do it all myself. Does anyone know a decent place in LA that will not only do it, but also maybe update the wiring a bit to add a couple circuits for my stereo and power locks? I was also thinking of having one of those universal GM based harnesses that so many places make and have that installed.

well most universal wiring kits require you to use the existing harness for plugs for all the misc. stuff thats on the car. i know for a fact painless does and if you dont have any or all of them you need to do your homework and get the plugs suitable for what you have in and on the car.

The wiring in the car was cut out, but the plugs were left on the components.

I did mine myself. Only took a month or so, and that was with 60 hour work weeks.

Oh I can do this by myself alright, problem is.. well... lets say that a 60 hour work week would be a vacation for me. I go to school full time and work full time, so in between work and and school and assignments I'm fried. So no one has any reccomendations for electrical shops in LA? And yes, it's a restomod, have a high watt stereo in, upgraded the charging system and battery, and some custom lighting as well.
