Has any one replaced the entire electrical system with an after market system. Meaning the entire harness , fuse box and relays. I'm not looking for originality ... who do you recommend.
Thank Ron

I used the Haywire RTA fuse panel. I liked the fact that it had terminals for wires that I could easily hookup and change. I actually contacted them and got the stuff to re-wire the the fuse box allowing me to extend the wires and move the terminals. This allowed me to mount the terminals behind the battery.
All is mounted in the front trunk to rid the dash and footwell of fuse panel. I do also have a relay panel mounted in front trunk, relay and small fuse panel on rear firewall, and a single 4-relay panel under dash for electric windows.
Not as pretty as it could be but affords me a lot of control over the wiring.

I've done 7-8 of them now and used several harnesses from all of the
popular makers. I have to say, the Ron Francis version is by far the nicest .
The best part about it is the fact that the only wire that comes connected to the
fuse panel is the main power lead. Everything else is added . This eliminates the
need to lengthen the wires that are too short on the other offerings
(mostly because they are generally manufactured with front engine cars in mind.

Gary ... looks great , but complicated, I;m trying to simply things.
Rick .. I was considering a Painless system but ...
Ron ... the Ron Francis is what I was considering for that exact reason .. a close friend also have me that exact advise about the connections and lengthening of the wiring.
Ital the Jon Hass system looks awsome but i have a Phobia with wiring ... it looks complex.
thanks all for the advise ... how many circuits do i need and how many relays ... how do i go about ordering the base fuse box and options ?

Mine was just made with Painless # 10220 http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/10220
It comes with extra long wires. Fuse box etc. is nowadays situated in a box behind the passenger´s seat, in a box made into the fire wall. I did not do this part of work by myself, as electricity and how it functions still remains a mystery to me...
