57 President Wiring

[Yanqui84@gmail.com]

Hello Everybody and I hope everybody had a good time on Christmas.

I need to do the wiring in my car and I need some suggestions/tips since am pretty sure you guys have done all the dirty work already.

- Should I leave stock wiring with the 12v convertion.
or
- Should I buy one of those fuse box/harness kits.

What have you guys done?

No convertion[sic] necessary. Your '57 is already 12 volt.
