I couldn't agree more, with all you said. I was watching one of the car shows I like and they were talking about grounds and what they should be. I now have;

1. Cylinder head to frame
2. Cylinder head to transmission
3. Transmission to frame
4. Battery to frame
5. Body to frame x2

I think that ought to do it
