GOOD NEWS
I got everything buttoned up and I got the lower body on.
UNKNOWN NEWS
I think I VEGASED (killed) the battery, now that the lower is on and the tip sensor connected I was able to try and start her and do an electrical check. well no joy first try, charged it a little and the engine started right up. shut it off and clicks again. going to try charging it longer, its a relatively new gel battery.
the good news is the lower body is on, the engine started and the F-1 light comes on.
