Cutting out sections leave compromised remains. Do it once and do it right.

The plan is to put in a new american autowire harness for sure. I am just trying to make it work for now as my driver while I am doing floors in my 55. The floors where not too bad but after pricing patches it made sense to do a whole 1 piece which is taking longer than I hoped.
