I realized I didn't inquire about this quick and simple question before.  With the two 6v batteries wired in series, to hook up the fuse blocks negative and positive do I wire connect from a single battery?  Or do wire from battery 1 positive and battery 2 negative?  Thanks.

If both your wires go to the same battery, you will only get 6 volts.

Thank you. 

Yeah I went out to the car and took a look at it and thought to myself that this was a stupid question to ask.  "Of course the negative goes to the 2nd battery" I thought.  I wired it all up and have it all working now!   :angel:
