Thx Bob / Rickd. I replaced the battery and the VR and everything is fixed. The VR had a cooked relay. I replaced w/ a solid state and swapped the Ford black cover from original by drilling the rivets on the replacement VR. Car starts on first try now ..after learning proper method from other thread. I also pulled all of the wheels and applied anti-seize, adjusted the Spax and raised the rear by an inch. I also installed the tonneau studs in preparation for a cover. Just waiting on wind wings and sun visors. I probably will install a carpet as well. Coming together. Thanks for the help. Jeff
