I started attaching the lugs to the cable ends. I'm going slow and careful because my "hex crimper" is home-made. I think the crimps are very solid, however.

Also, I drilled a larger hole from the back of the car to the engine compartment, and ran 2 cables from the motor to the controller, cut them, and added the lugs. In fact, I've only crimped 4 lugs so far. I'm not sure how many more there are. Probably 12 more. Yikes. I only have 12 more. I hope that's how many.

Edit: It was how many.
