I'm going to go with a yes for your scound question of reconnecting them and grounding it. You do not want to risk of starting an electrical fire on that beautiful car

Fusible links in the first picture. Definitely needed. For the second one, yes you should ground it there. But rather than strip a section of a long ground wire, get two shorter ones. That's the way I did it. I also ran another one fro that same spot to the alternator mount bolt.

The two new wires should come with eyelet type (just a round hole) connectors crimped on the ends of them. Just bolt them both to the same place. Might have to buy a slightly longer bolt and use a washer.
