very easy, just don't forget to use lots of different grounds and don't overload the wire.. generally I use 16 guage wire for just about everything as long as the components don't exceed 20 amps and are put on no more than a 20 amp fuse... generally all your lights (excluding headlights) and guages can be done with 16 guage... headlights need to be at least 14 guage with a 25amp fuse and i recommend using 10 guage wire to fuel pumps, fans, and ignition.... even if they only require 10 amps or so (and use designated fuse for component) but the bigger wire loses less voltage to those critical components. Let me know if you need any specific information and I will gladly assist you in any way I can.

Iam planing on gutting my 1990 LX to do a cage and also rewire the intire car since its Carb now. The only thing i can say is mark everthing and go on ebay and look for a Ford Mustang Electrical and Vacumm Trouble Shooting Manual (EVTM). It will help out big time. good luck
