Default ideas on wiring harness

I was lookin at the 18-circuit universal wiring harness from summit. Anyone bought/installed one of these? an if so what would be the best way to run the grounds since the harness only has all the positive wires? I pulled the harness out of my vette an the previous owner had hacked it all to hell...

The underdash harnes and light harnesses all have frame grounds, there is the battery to frame ground, engine to frame grounds and alternator to frame grounds, all that needs to go thru the firewall connector are power and signal wires.

I noticed you are a relatively new poster on the forum. Are you aware that you can buy a new duplicate harness from Lectric Limited? An underdash harness runs about $500. A lot of money, but their stuff looks like factoy original. Also, to me, building an underdash harness looks like a lot of work and when you consider that Lectric provides factory duplicate connectors, it's probably a good deal notwithstanding the sticker shock.

Bought one from them for my 71'. Has all the correct connectors and it fits.
