Well I kind of have everything worked out. The 1/0 battery cable made a HUGE impact on the starting/reliability. The amp meter is even showing that the generating is managing to sufficiently charge the battery. I'm also completely reconsidering what I want to do with the car. I originally thought about making it a copper-orange on the bottom with a white pearl (cadillac) on the top, but after messing around on photoshop with it, I think I still prefer the original look. Now I'm think I should just throw an interior in the thing and be done with it until I completely rebuild the car a few years down the road. Just thought I'd update people on what happened with the car. Thanks for everyone's help.
Someone somewhere mentioned that they had adapted a regular radio into their car while keeping the original 6v system. If you read this can you give me some info on how to do this. Or if anyone else has an idea on how to do this, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks,
Rusty
