W2 Stroker comin together!

a little leakage at the stat housing and a small oil drip maybe from filter but I will have to wait for headers to cool off to isolate it.
I have an electrical gremlin in the solenoid wiring... I can start it with a remote starter switch but not the key.... I have power to the cranking lead to the solenoid and have tried 3 different solenoids with same outcome... what simple thing am I missing ?
check starter relay reason being mine took a dump had simular issues when I took it apart I found the top contact brass or copper strip had broken off.
