I've recently bought the kits for my 66 coupe so there is no really problem there. My question is mostly about wire routing, I've scoped it out some and it looks like the hole needs to be drilled behind the kick panels and through the doors. Also what do you use to protect the wires? On the newer cars they have those accordion style sleeves with the reverse hose clamps, I'd love to find a set of those if possible. Any ideas on where to find those or pictures of what people have used just to give me a idea. Thanks in advance.

my 65 and 66 Mustangs both came with pony interior. this means that they have the courtesy lights in the doors. the Ford wiring is wrapped in tape only, nothing more, at least on my cars.

I just recently added power windows to my 66. I put the switches in the console, so there are only 2 additional wires to each of the doors. I opted not to add electric locks.
The wiring exits the car and enters the door using body plugs (grommets). the hole popped through the plug is snug only allowing the wire to fit through (keeps water out). be sure to leave enough wiring in the void of the door/pillar to allow the door to open and close without binding/pinching the wiring. these are roughly halfway down the door.
