Buy a kit?! Don't do it!!! Find someone who makes the box (it's important since it's going in your interior) route the vent tube and head down to the Local stereo shop.. Find some 1/0 Ga wire and go to town getting it up to the font. As for the ground, just grind down a spot on the frame and weld a bolt or similar to it, and strap the ground on there. the only 'custom' part would be a bracket/wedge to make the battery box sit strait up in the rear compartment...

Cool thanks, but I have bought the 2 ga universal kit from jegs for $82 shipped and a 20 ft of ground wire for $70 shipped and buying a box here at a local shop. Im not running any kind of stereo or upgraded ignition system so I figured 2 ga would be plenty. I came out saving about $200 vs the other Corvette kits out there. Corvette tax sucks on certain things. Thanks tho!

Here's an Ebay link, $65...... If you really want cheap go the walmart and buy a battery box (boat/fishing aisle) and then get a long set of jumper cables and cut the ends off then get the battery ends at what ever carparts store!
