NCR ~ Hey you old car guys...

I've been searching for a decent project car for awhile and being a Lincoln fan (I already have an '88 Town Car and an '89 Continental) I found and bought this one last week. It's a 1965. 96,000 miles, one owner, & garage kept for nearly it's entire 40 years (actually the second owner had it stored as you see in the pics for 2 months before I bought it.

It had a fire in the engine compartment and now requires a new wire harness and hoses as well as quite a bit of other misc. stuff located on the firewall and fenders. Exterior damage from the fire consists of two 6-8" scorch marks on the hood. Just enough heat to burn off the paint. I haven't found any evidence of body repair anywhere on the car and there is no rust other than a couple very small spots in the front door hinge area. The only other problem bodywise is the seam separation on the passenger side of the vinyl roof. I think it's quite a nice find for being in the upstate New York area and especially for only taking 500 bucks out of my bank account...

Can anyone tell me where I might find a complete aftermarket engine wire harness? Or do they even exist? I need from the firewall all the way forward. Some real quick Google searching didn't result in much...Has anyone ever tackled a project like this and if so can you offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
