Default rewiring 67 coupe

Due to many problems I think it is time for a complete re wire of my mustang. I was looking into doing it myself to save money, the only thing holding me back is the fact that I don't have much experience with electrical work. How hard is it really for a novice to rewire their car?

I was looking into this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/64-65...Q5fAccessories
and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with it.

And again, how long should I plan on this taking?

If you're on a tight budget, I'm sure it will do. The only concern I have is that it is meant to fit a wide range of years so you won't find year specific connectors like you would with something like a Painless kit. From the picture, it looks like there will be a lot of splicing involved.

+1 with what Bitter said.
additionally i did this same research a few years ago, i found that there are pros and cons to every system except one. Ron Francis, easy as can be and the tech support is great (except on weekends). Like Bitter stated, the end connectors are additional but i reused most of mine so the additional cost was only in spade connectors and time

My vote goes for getting reproduction wiring.
