I have wire a number of vehicles, most have been prototypes. In the case of OEM prototyping, we use roll crimps for terminals that are inserted into connectors. NO crimped terminals are used.

If the same can be done on your car build, you might want to select 'weather tight' connectors with roll crimped connections.

Crush crimp terminals work fine, but you might want to solder the wire, and then shrink wrap the collar and wire at each terminal.

For those connections that you might be taking apart a few times - I use 'Posi-tap' connectors. Expensive but work well.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Hope this helps.
