Huckelberry5,
one of the first things I do is mount the cowl (NOT roll-sorry.) bar in place. I then bolt & weld the bottom of the cowl bar to the frame. ( Fantastic safety factor in case of side impacts.) I then weld three or four 1/4x 20x3/4 long bolts to the- inside of the FRONT LOOP of the cowl bar making sure they wont be in the way of the column, gauges, wiper motor, etc.

I weld the heads of the bolts to the inside of the bar so the stut is pointing toward the rear bar. From this point on it will give you the three or four welding studs you can use for different grounding ranges. This process assures you have all the grounds you need and they work fantastic. Simply crimp a 1/4" (eye) rounded wire end onto the wire and simply bolt on with a 1/4x20 nut. Doing it this way, a braided ground wire from the bell housing to the FRAME, the normal required grounds and you will never have a problem with this fiberglass car for grounds!

Good question!
