The Ford Barn

I went to start my '50 8ba and it would not make a sound when I pushed the starter button. Fresh battery with lots of juice. I cleaned and tightened relay points of contact and the battery posts. I switched out the starter button with no luck but at one point it would crank when the switch grounded to the dash. It would stop cranking when I pushed the button. None of the wiring was touched since last summer when i was driving it. All new wiring in original specs. I'm sure it's simple but I'm stumped. Thanks.
