I also made the harness for my 53 from scratch. It took a long time, but I was working slowly. It's amazing how flexible the new wires are compared to the hanrness you took out. I got all my terminals from RI wire. Order about 2-3 extra of each terminal type you get. I often screwed up a crimp, and had to use my "extras" I crimped and soldered all terminals. I'm sure you could replicate the harness no problem, just lots of wires. (actually very limited compared to other cars)

I also had my radio modified to a "modern" radio with all the bells and whistles. (Wonderbar function works and uses a modern AM/FM circuit and amplifier. Also has bluetooth for hands free calling and music streaming. It was kind of spendy, but should be cool. This allows my better half to play dj while riding shotgun!

Keep up the good work!
