Whats left of the harness is spliced all over the place and there are un explained bare wires aplentyThe crescent shaped steering column connector is hooked up but none of the signal lights work.

I really like the way the Painless harnesses look, how are they in terms of quality and ease of installation? Im using "ease of installation" loosely as I know this is not one of the easiest things to do. I have never done a full chassis harness before. There one of the 67-72 Painless harnesses on ebay for $390.00, is there another manufacturer that makes model specific harnesses for a good price?

I posted pictures of my project in the Welcome section if you'd like to see
Welcome, I've used a harness from American Autowire on a 55 Belair before and was a good quality harness with clear instructions, each wire labeled every few inches and schematics. I'm not familiar with any others but know there are a few different companies out there.
