Tools and Materials:
Waytekwire.com I'm not affiliated with them, but they seemed to have a good mailorder selection and I got most of what I needed in one bulk order.
Wire Spools 16 and 14 gauges (18 would have been a good idea instead of too much 14 gauge):
Red, Black, White, Brown, LT. Green, Blue (14 color choices) 250 ft. lengths.
Double row Terminal blocks (These sucked, I should have bought stud type junction blocks to connect 10+ AWG near fusible link.
Multilink ring terminals (Assorted 20-18, 16-14 - 5/16 stud size)
Delphi Packard Metri-Pack 280 series System of cable seals, male / female terminals, and connector bodies (Pretty bulky, I might recommend 150 series and sealed electric headers in hindsight.)
Weather-Pack Hand tool crimper.
Klein Tools Stock no. 517 (hand shears excellent all around tool for wires, heat shrink, tubing wrap and expandable sleeving)
Spiral wrap tubing - 1/4" tubing (also highly recommend 3/8", much better quality than auto parts junk)
Expandable sleeving - 1/4" (I have to confirm)
HI Torque Heavy Duty Mounts (for securing wiring harness w/ up to 1/2" cable ties)
Cable ties - Black
Polyolefin Heat shrink Kit - 3/16" (too small to be useful) to 1" sizes
Heat Gun Kit (way better than butate lighter)
Relays (from Advanced Autoparts, probably should have bought from Waytek in bulk)
Summitracing.com
Plastic Battery box with 25' of wire
firewall bulkhead
Master cutoff switch
There are more items and I will update after a proper inventory of materials on the car and tools acquired with pictures (waiting on my new phone w/ camera, crawling out of the dark ages).
