In this car it is all hidden behind a carpeted panel.... and there is also a battery cutoff switch - hidden - and I ran a 15 amp fuse across the switch to keep battery power to the radio etc - but of course that won't let it be started.

I grounded the battery to the roll bar... since it is all welded into the body etc. Nice and short and sweet. Ran the + to a connection point up forward and then jumped off that across to the starter. Gives me a nice clean point to get + from. I use a Marine Stainless steel "post" that also has a dozen smaller terminals for taps.
Great idea ! Ive been lookin for a plan like this to do mine..
