Thankyou for showing the original harness and fuse block, I didn't know that mustang and Galaxie fuse blocks looked almost identical. This is gonna help me on my current restoration.
I used the American autowire kit on my 67 mustang, love it! Used custom SpeedHut Gauges. I actually ran engine wires through driver fender. Makes engine bay look a lot cleaner
Lucky is a player y'all he is a blue collar baller and a shot caller thank you again lucky for all the great videos you get gas brother let's get back on that 67 Chevelle though that's what I'm rolling in and I love all your videos on the upgrades thank you DJ
Hello Lucky great video on doing the wiring on David Mustang. I remember on Roadkill when he got it now look how far it has come. I really enjoy your channel and of course Hotrod Garage Take Care Sir
Nice work Lucky. I have that same dashpad on mine. In the Australian sun it's getting cooked and curling up in the vent area. Good luck with the rest of the job.
I used American auto wire for my 62 ford f100 and it came with everything for stock wiring and the extras for modernizing it . Easy to install and has been working great for two years now. My new project is going to to get one of their wiring kit too. Cool to see you use them in your jobs too.
I'm doing the wiring in the '77 z28 next year. New dash pad also, a repop guy apparently makes a better one than oem, fits better wont curl. I'm hoping the Painless kit will have everything for my stock gauges, electric windows, and sniper efi. I need to hire Lucky for a few days, lol.
Great project! I redid the wiring on my 1969 Mustang but used the stock harness and modified it where it was falling apart. I should have spent the money earlier and did an entire kit like this when the car was apart. I would have saved myself some headaches... Just found the channel and love the content!
Yo Smackey I’m just about ready to find someone who can do this for me. Issues with my hands and just life, time and general stuff, I can’t really commit to doing this myself. Was hoping to find a youtuber close to me Into mustangs. I got all the harnesses, I just need the loom clips and connectors. No compromises. I don’t want to be taking it back apart in a year for crap I should’ve done now.
Hey lucky. Like your vidz and respect your work. I have a 73 c35. Can I bring it to your shop. Needs work. How do I get to your shop? Thanx and be safe
I was only in about a year into my career. Before I figure it out, there's no such thing as a shortcut. Where you think you're making it up on one end... You're going to lose on the other. Seems like an experienced technician would know things like that. But then again... He does call himself lucky.
I didn't know the brake indicator light indicated brake failure or low fluid. My 67 has one of those and unfortunately when I wired in a painless kit in mine my dad threw away the harness and i lost alot of connectors that being one of them. I always thought that was indicating the emergency brake
I have a 69 Fastback I need wired up, I don’t suppose your based in SoCal? It’s not a money issue I’ve just been having problems finding anyone local I’d trust to do the job. It’s almost back from the body shop. Got the suspension and other mechanical items sorted, just got to figure out who to use for the electrical. I’m not comfortable doing it myself anymore.
I've never had a need for bling. I don't even we as r a wedding band . Too many hazards when working on vehicles . And i don't have the need for bling or like wearing those things anyways. I guess I'm just a plain ol guy.
screw all that.....wiring what you need, Not what the factory put in...One function at a time.....When doing so, ask, "Do I really need a glove box door open buzzer light to go on? prolly not...
When you have to chase a wiring gremlin in a vehicle with hacked wiring that's been butchered 12 times over... you learn exactly what NOT to do when working on your own projects. Perfect example: using one color wire for everything. Major pet peeve. (Source: been working on other people's junk for years)
David needs to install some bronze bushings in his door hinges, or have you do it. Makes it much nicer to open and close the doors, they don't squeak and the doors latch properly. And - if you care - the capacitor on the center channel is used as a filter to block low frequencies because small speakers can't reproduce low frequencies. Capacitors are short circuits to high frequencies, but block low frequencies. If you know the frequency you want to start blocking, the formula for calculating the point where the capacitor starts to shut down low frequencies is 1/2(pi)C, or 1/6.28(C), as it is wired in your circuit.
Tech tip request: What is your preferred way to label wires as you are working through a project? Masking tape and a sharpie? Label maker? Photos? Perfect memory?
I was wondering the same thing. I’m thinking of doing this for my 69 Coupe but it seems tedious and like I need to have experience to pull it off hahah.
I'm not interested in bashing one company over another... I'm just curious as to what makes AAW better than (if it is) another company, saaaay... a company that promotes "less pain" in their wiring kit? Hope you're enjoying the leftover turkey sandwiches!
I will only use AAW harnesses. The classic update kits may take a little thought to lay out to make look nice but their components and customer service are outstanding.
I love that car and what you're doing to it. And that's a lot coming from me, not generally being a Ford or a Mustang guy. But you guys are turning it into a sweet ride anyone would be proud to drive. Nicely done.
@@sicsam1 Cool, nice to see guys who are not afraid to work with them and not put them in a safety box. Same attitude with cars, no matter what it's worth, got to drive them. Thats what they were made for.
Hey Lucky. Just doing the wiring this week on myk 70. Thanks for the heads up on all the stuff. Didn't even notice the dash pad needs a grill that they may not make any longer. Guess I could make a template and cut one out of some type of grate material. Thin holy aluminum designed vent cover. Make our own I guess.
For my camaro I made a custom bulkhead connector using a WeatherPack 22 Pin Connector P/N 15492531 + 1549252, instead of just passing wires thru a hole in the firewall
Greatest thing we like to do after Thanksgiving is go on vacation in the Texas Hill Country. It gives me a chance to get caught up on my video watching in the mornings while the wife sleeps in.
Hey Lucky, can you show more of how you are going to route the wires in the engine by? I am getting ready to do this to my own 69 and would love to see how you clean it up. I think how you try to hide all the wires on other cars is awesome and want to do the say thing, but to my ford.
I just finished wiring my 34 Ford with an American Autowire kit. My first time doing wiring and it went great. Good kit and easy to follow instructions. For anyone not wanting to drill holes to secure wires, look into "Mag Daddy" magnet kits. I found them very useful.
I need to ask. I saw the defroster vents in the trunk there and wondered why you didnt install them in the dashpad? They dont fit with the new a/c unit? Inquring minds would like to know! Great work as always thx for sharing it
@@tootone Considering David paid someone to spend lots of time paint matching the rust areas to the faded paint and make it look like it was a clean but faded car I don’t think he’s gonna paint it soon
Working on classics while wearing a Rolex sub.......blue collar baller
He's an og German
The work you do is beyond clean and perfect . That disgustang is getting pampered .great job as always Lucky
i just did my 1966. i have no training but always tried to do stuff myself. it's a great kit! also did dakota digital and man it made it easier
Loved the American Autowire kit I bought for my 65 Lemans.
Thanks Lucky
The wiring is the one thing that drives me crazy on a resto thx
Thankyou for showing the original harness and fuse block, I didn't know that mustang and Galaxie fuse blocks looked almost identical. This is gonna help me on my current restoration.
That car has so much character. Thanks for all the tips, Lucky.
Love that American Autowire is local NJ

Looks like fun. I’m getting ready to rewire my 59 Chevy Truck so thanks for the insight.
Looks like a good kit, nice to have the extras, just in case. That car is in pretty decent shape, now.
This looks like your old shop, did the new one not work out, or just still using both for now? Good update on the Disgustang!

Trunk key, lol, I only just fixed that on mine last year.
I really like this car. 10/10, would absolutely tow.

Center speaker - not a capacitor, inline fuse! Saves the driver from being roasted under the weight of Freiburger playing 'Hot For Teacher', hehheh..
Pulled the whole loom out of a 69’ once. Was chasing a dead short on the AC system. With the factory diagram, it was not a big deal.
always have a schematic that's accurate!
awesome thanks for sharing!
Hey lucky. Like your vidz and respect your work. I have a 73 c35. Can I bring it to your shop. Needs work. How do I get to your shop? Thanx and be safe
I would love to see a wiring episode with you and Freiburger on roadkill or hot rod garage please

If the ac box and ducts need a new home I can find a place for them. Same for the remains if the wire harness.
Do you have any idea why my dash lights won’t come on? Harness seems intact. I’m replacing the circuit board but not sure if that would do it.
lucky for President
Great work lucky!i like that box of old keys there! those have been around for a while it looks like!!
We got the same stang 👍
Thanks for watching!
Oh man, if only my 69 stang looked as good as Freiburgers... one day it'll be done ...one day
When doing this harness what would you do with the voltage regulator just throw it away
I have a 69 Fastback I need wired up, I don’t suppose your based in SoCal? It’s not a money issue I’ve just been having problems finding anyone local I’d trust to do the job.

Yes I’m in South Bay DM me or email me
she is lookn good , happy gobble gobble
Its funny I was just watching him do the suspension on it.
Happy Holidays
LED conversion inside and out? headlights on a relay?
I'm in the wrong business....I can't wear a "ROLEX' to work!!!
Why not just get new connector shells and terminals instead of splicing into the crusty and likely brittle old ones on the light harness up front?
I've never had a need for bling.
I don't even we as r a wedding band .
Too many hazards when working on vehicles .
And i don't have the need for bling or like wearing those things anyways.
I guess I'm just a plain ol guy.
No idea what you’re talking about
Lucky you almost lost your key oh I am sure you got more
His favorite key

Thanks Lucky, the Holiday hooptie challenge on mtod was great.
Good evening Lucky 🤙🏻 Hope you had a good Thanksgiving
I don't know why that car is so fascinating, but I can't seem to look away.
Easy. It's one of the best designs ever and you've got to watch it get drug out of the junk yard to this.
I used American Autowire on my 68 Cougar project and I couldn't be happier . Thanks Lucky
American Autowire has the best harnesses hands down. All I use in my shop on all builds It's nice having them 30 minutes away :)
what shop? NJ represent!!

I use both kits often.
Both are Quality products.
Customer supplied this kit this time.
@@luckysgarageshow Cool... thank you so much for the reply. Peace.
I will only use AAW harnesses. The classic update kits may take a little thought to lay out to make look nice but their components and customer service are outstanding.
Thanks for the video- working on a 69 fastback right now - need all the help I can get it’s my first Ford!

tell Freiburger work on his own junk!
Crusher Camaro needs this treatment.
Happy holidays to you sir
Planing to install a American Auto Wire in my car.
Thanks, for the info.
PS: Is that a Rolex?
Yes. He has a rolax
@@sicsam1 Cool, nice to see guys who are not afraid to work with them and not put them in a safety box.

I hear that Freiburger guy is pretty loaded. Hope you're charging double rate.

Purrrrrdect timing Lucky. I am just about to embark on my first re-wire on my project. You're a CHAMP!
Love that car! On my 67 the alternator wiring goes through the hole with the lighting stuff.
Daang, didn't realize you rocked a Rolex in the shop.
if there is such a thing as man love without touching... I love you man!
Thanks again for sharing your hard work Lucky.
Casey Pusch also wears his Rolex in the shop. He says its super durable and he doesnt worry about it.
don’t know who that is
I bought American Autowire for my 51 Chevy pickup. Super happy with the kit. Good diagrams etc. Everything work in the end.
I just finished wiring my 34 Ford with an American Autowire kit.
My first time doing wiring and it went great. Good kit and easy to follow instructions.
For anyone not wanting to drill holes to secure wires, look into "Mag Daddy" magnet kits. I found them very useful.
Thanks @Lucky!
I need to ask. I saw the defroster vents in the trunk there and wondered why you didnt install them in the dashpad? They dont fit with the new a/c unit? Inquring minds would like to know! Great work as always thx for sharing it
I installed VintageAir and they supplied all new vents
The yellow plug on the speaker is called an XT 60 , its rated @ 60 amps and is used on RC cars and planes.
I 100% knew that. Associated for life 👊
Luck I got a dash gauge kit cheap . My research says it costs over a grand .I'd donte .
Dm me
The discust stang isn't discusting any more it's a paint job away frome a nice car..
I hope the paint it. Its a beautiful car, Nd deserves something better than faded poop brown!
