Haha, wouldn't be the first time. You've got my number, I wouldn't charge for the drive time, since I love Vegas, and would bring all the tools and materials in the truck. Conservatively takes two days.

The FSM is literally all you need. If you want a "hand holding" diagram, with "here son, connect this light blue/black striped wire with this black wire with red stripe right here" then you'd have to tell me
exactly what system you're working on, on what car. If your car's anywhere close to stock (wiring-wise) the FSM should be all you need - it has diagrams, wire colors, pinouts, EVERYTHING!

I just wanna make every thing more accesable for the car when things break down and need repair. i dont wanna end up having to move lots of wires, and get confused. im not sure if i should take this to some one else to do.. or if i should try it my self. id like to try this myself and see how well it turns out.

You've still got taillights and fuel pump, so you've still got wiring running back from the dash. On Ernie's Vert (DTC Superstar) I did a 'standalone' race harness with a Bussman fuse block in the driver's side kick panel, and sleeved everything with Techflex flame-proof expandable sleeving and adhesive heat shrink - he still had a grip of wires running around the dash, but only a few running through the firewall (headlights) and back from the dash (convertible + tail lights + fuel pump).
If you really want it simple, take EVERYTHING out, take off the loom, and start with an aftermarket fuse block. I use a 6-circuit Bussman for Ignition-ON stuff and a 12-circuit Blue Sea for Accessory-ON, but you could definitely get away with just one or the other for a race car.

Then you use the FSM to pick out which connectors and wires you need (like, you'd still want the headlight, ignition, wiper and gauge cluster plugs, and most of the wires). You'd take those wires out, reconnect them per the FSM, and test one system at a time. If you're unfamiliar with the FSM and wiring diagrams in general, it'll take about a month - for me, takes 2 days to wire an entire car from scratch.
