Wanted: wiring guru!

HELP! well, while my car interior is totally stripped (but still drivable...hilariously so...makeshift cardboard dash and all...) I would like to go through and have all the wiring harnesses (OK maybe not all 14 of them) de-loomed, tested and put back together...ideally I was thinking of tucking many of these out of sight as when I eventually get the interior together I want to do it sans carpets...(I've removed carpets and sound deadening) but with a more or less full interior...among the mods I wish to make would be to remove the AC, stereo/alarm and peripherals, air bag system ( I know I know not the safest mod but I'm adding roll bar and 3 or 4 point belts in lieu of and besides the air bag system is jacked as PO severed AB harness)
So....I started this on my own and realize I am way over my head as the schematics look like Chinese kanji to me plus I don't know how to test or correctly make the best engineered choices regarding wiring....So I need a real genius, slightly OCD (OK totally OCD), wiring guru to take over...can be done in my garage and obviously at an agreed upon rate plus I would love to sit in learn, run errands, help and provide beers/pizza (after work day of course)
Ultimately my next step is to have car painted I figure I need to have this done first(?)
I'm in north bay close to city but over the bridge...if ANYONE out there knows of someone relatively close that fits this description please let me know!!!!

What you're describing takes a lot of time. It took me 6 months on and off to do what you are describing, including removing circuits, creating new ones, reinforcing old ones.

I'm in the process of removing every stock harness from my car and moving over to a PDM, if I were doing it for someone else it'd be in the vicinity of ~4k in labor alone.

Also, if you're painting the interior as well as the exterior (seems like you might since you don't want to run carpet) you're best off building/extending the harnesses in the car, taking them out, having it painted, then re-installing.

You can PM me if you have any questions.
