I moved my battery from under hood to in the trunk. Then ran the positive cable along the frame to the area next to where the starter will be, used insulated clamps to hold it fast, like everyone does. Then for the ground cable I weld a bolt to the frame in the battery area. Then up front another bolt is welded to the frame and also a bolt welded to the body. I'll attach the large ground cable to the engine, prolly the starter attachment bolt, then a # 6 wire is run from the frame to the body bolt. I also ground the dash to the body because most dashes are bolted to the body and rust will insulate the dash and cause electrical problems with gauges, radios and dash lights that can give you nightmares. If you have power windows or door poppers, it's a good idea the run a separate ground to the doors...:D
