I have a 39 chevy coupe & will be mounting the battery in the trunk, and I have a couple of questions on which way would be best to route the battery cables.......

1. should I drill a hole thur the floor next to the battery, & run the cables to the starter and block(to ground) from the underside of the car, attaching the cables to the frame rail, which also has the gas line mounted to it???? if so, what type of clips or mounting brackets would the best way to secure the cables to the frame rail, how danagerous will it be having the positive cable running next to the gas line?

2. Or should I run the cables on the inside of the car; on the floor. Running the cables from the battery up to the front of the car, then drill a couple of holes thru the floor to drop the cables thru to attach to the starter & the to the block. ( *this would be my choice, if there would be no problem doing it this way*)

want some of your advice & expierence from you guys. do you have any better suggestions on routing the cables from a remote mounted battery in the trunk????

*****just incase anyone is wondering why I didn't mount the battery under the front fender on the frame, it is becuase I have custom over the frasme heders.
thanks for any suggestions or advise.............. hoping to have the car on the road for the nats in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
