Sure it would work. It would be no different than wiring up a street rod. It would just be a lot of work*S*

I'd probably get a 15 circuit setup.

I think most aftermarket require dealing with ends and so forth so I don't see why a universal wouldn't work as well. Ron Francis is pretty inexpensive or you could spend a bit more and go painless. I got the Ron Francis and am starting into it now - I wish the ends and feed to the engine compartment would have had the stock type connectors (what to do then with the hole no longer being used........

i got the painless and honestly with painless, your just buying better wires, all labeled and bunched together so its easier to find what goes where, everything else is a PITA
