stick it in the trunk or spare tire compartment and run the cables down the frame.

Search this forum for some details on this. There is a kit you can buy for relocating the battery. It includes all the wiring and hardware to relocate the starter relay to the trunk. This is far safer than running a constant hot wire all the way to the front along the frame. Any rubbing or chafing and that battery will turn your car into a glowing fireball. I'll try to get the names and add to this post.

OK, get a battery box from Summit. Get the cable to run from the starter relay to the starter from any welding supply shop. 25' of 0 guage should be fine. then get the kit from MAD Enterprises. If you have a 93 or newer or are planning on upgrading to the new Ford starter, get a relay kit from him also it will prevent the starter from becoming a generator when it is spinning down.
$300+ later and you are ready to install. It will be the best and safest way to do this.

i went to home depot an got the wire...you could route the wire thru your fender then have it run by the side of your seat under the carpet to the trunk..get a battery box or make your own..then ground it somewhere in your trunk
