Handy ground wire in dash?

Do you guys know of any easily accessible grounds in the dash that I could tap into for gauges?

Any part of the metal frame of the dash would be a good ground.

If you're putting the gauges on the a-pillar, remove the driver side kick panel and you'll see a green ground screw beside the hood release.
