defenately ground to the chassis. Running that extra ground up there is
useless when the chassis goes up there anyways. Grounds should always be as
short as possible. If you're looking for extra work I would run a new power
wire into the back of your fusebox.
I think summit has some really nice aluminum boxes. I wouldn't rely on the
dumpster cables though, because you can just as easily buy new cable for
pretty cheap. Although I do consider it a sport, Dumpster Diving has never
become my forte.

Subject: Re: Battery Relocation
I plan on getting a battery box from summit so i can mount it securly and
plumb a vent hose, and I found a set of junk extra long jumper cables in the
dumpster @ work, just the clamps are junk not the cables that are going from
the battery to the front of the car. I'll just buy some nice marine
terminals at NAPA.
I dunno If I'm going to ground the neg in the trunk like a mercedes or run
it to the engine. One wire would be easier then 2, but if I ground it in the
trunk I'll have to go from the body to the engine. I'm probably going to go
with the first idea.
