Car Won't Start After Removing Interior and Gauges

Started messing with it again this afternoon. After bolting the two ammeter leads together, I was still having the intermittent start problem. Discovered that the connections at the back of the ignition switch were loose. Could have come from all of the pulling on the harness when I was removing the gauges and from the dash. Either way, once we disconnected the ignition switch and pushed it back together tight, we had no more issues with the intermittent problems. Not really worried about anything else working right now. We just wanted to be able to move the car around before the motor and transmission are completely out. Thanks again to everyone for the insight.
