Ammeter Battery overcharge

Ok riding the progress that I had under the hood, I thought I would try to undo red and black ammeter wires from under dash without pulling cluster. Well success!! I removed drivers side bucket seat and laid under dash prepared for a shitload of frustration loaded with a side of nervousness so I didnt break any connections. With the help of 8 ft of 1/4" ratchet extensions, a swivel and extendable magnet I was able to get the wires removed and pulled down far enough that I should be able to get them cut/crimped and soldered without too much more anquish. We can hope anyway right?? LOL
I took some pics of where I was trying to reach with the socket...working on it outside with a small LED hatlight...I know someone posted in another thread about painting the underside of the dash frame white. If I ever get the chance that will definitely happen.

Thanks all for following contributing, Im hoping to be running tomorrow.
Another question, I want to add an anftermarket volt gauge now, wondering where and how I do that??

Thanks again all, time for a couple beer wings and watching Canada in Hockey World Cup!
