PAINLESS Wiring Harness. How Difficult?
As a 1980 L48, My car is approaching 34 years of age. One place where I would like to do a chassis refresh is the wiring harness.
Questions:
Can I do it (ie. do I need help?)?
Can it be done in sections?
How much has to come off of the car to install?
What are the pitfalls and gotchas?
Is it cost prohibitive?
What improvements can I leverage with a new harness (fuel injection, increased voltage?, LED lighting, etc.)
Are there competitors (LectricLimited) that are better at Corvette harnesses?
I'm considering install of a new dashboard in winter 2013/early 2014. This would seem to be the PERFECT time to attack the harness. I'm also planning to have the seatbelts rehab'd by the Snake Oyle outfit that rebuilds the buckles, installs new retractors and all new belts/webbing.

No need for the complexity and expense of even localized harness replacement.
