Jerry,

Thanks for the comments. This is how I have mine ground now, tell me what you think. I have a ground wire from the alternator to the frame (I found out the hard way the March clear powder coating makes a worthless ground) 12ga to the frame. I have a pre-made battery wire - say about pinky finger diameter - run from the engine block to the frame (same point as alternator to the frame). I have the battery ground in the rear 1/0 run to the rear of the frame. On the negative battery terminal I have a 10ga wire that runs from the battery in the rear to underneath the dash to a terminal strip. This terminal strip is mounted on a cowl bar (has a main connection for the 10ga wire) and is the ground source for all of my gauges, lights and components etc.
