Default Where do I attach my guage's ground wire to?

Installing Autometer AF and boost gauges tonight.
Where do you guys connect the ground wire to?

The wire's not that long, so I'm thinking if there's a place within the driver cockpit area I can connect to ground, that would be easier than trying to solder-connect a long wire to my engine bay.

Thanks for any tips! (I tried searching but came up empty)

a good idea is to take a wire brush to the metal and scar the surface to make sure you get a good contact.

Sorry, I guess I was cranky after spending the past couple of nights under the dash and yes, installing my turbo. I'll lay off the caffeine and stop being so defensive.
Believe it or not, the turbo is easier to install than the gauges. (except for removing the old/rust manifold bolts -- those things were a mAjor PITA

Thanks
