Battery relocated to passenger cargo

I finished relocating my battery today. It's now in the passenger cargo bin. I ran a ground immediately to the body and then through a grommet under the car to the bell housing. I ran the positive line through the center compartment and out the shifter hole all the way to the battery's old location. I ran extra positive and ground lines from the old location to the starter. The battery's old location is now home to 2 dummy terminals mounted to the old plastic battery perch. I did this so I can still hook up jumper cables from under the hood if need be. Finally, I added a bussman 150 amp circuit breaker in the center compartment so I can cut battery power from the driver seat :-) Oh yeah
