Nice work man, I am looking forward to seeing this finished. I have a 4 door sedan, and in the feature I am thinking I will do something like this.

Did you do anything to your suspension on the car, or is that not really needed?

Looks good and a rather extensive install, props for taking it on.

For the wires under the car: use a buttload of wire ties as you do NOT want the power wires to rub on anything. For spots you can't tie down that might rub, cover them with heater hose.

I've been doing trunk mounted batteries for street race cars for 20+ years with the power wire run under the car and have NEVER had a problem. Wouldn't hurt to inspect things underneath every few months just to be safe.

Good luck on getting it finished, should be loud when it's all done....

If u want to at least make the wires a little heat more resistant since closer to the exhaust. take a clear pvc tubing cut it down the middle wrap the 1/0 in that and use a nice like liquid hardner or something to put at the ends so nothing gets in at the end's of the pvc tubing just an idea. but man looks real good keep up the great work man.
