weight removal/ battery relocation wiring help

[eric]

Today i got off my butt and decided to remove the broken front bumper and remove the rear bumper support....over all i took out an estimated 37-40lbs today. i took the horn, washer fluid tank out, bumber support as well as some other odds and ends. I looked at the door brace inside the door and i basically was stumped on how i could remove them with out cutting the frame of the door. I also was looking at the battery set up for my new relocation kit i know i have to lower the tank which isn't an issue. What i want to know/ see how the positive lines are run. Do i need to run one to the fuse box and the starter? I tried googling the battery relocation set up on mod motor but there isn't anything solid for me to use, it would be greatly appriciated if anyone could give me a run down on wiring this thing...

You need to have a shut off if your racing it. If you race, it needs to kill the car with it running. Run a positive feed from the battery to the alternator, and Second line from the battery to the switch and from the switch to the PDC (fuse box) Negitive feed to the chassis.

Thats the quick and quick. Some people do it differently but this( with lots of research and talking with NMRA/NMCA, ORSCA and some DR guys how they do it) You can run a toggle switch to turn the alt on/off as you want but if you forget to turn it on or off, or the tech ppl see it you may get spoken too....

I removed the door braces both sides, once brace is lose cut in 2 parts will com right out
A lot of work for just 12 pounds [put braces on scale after finished]
the shut off switch can be a relay found one on an industial [not automtive] web site that was a latching relay stayed in ether closed or open positin afer energized [mometary contact]
