Default Starting problem

Hey guys, long tmie member, long time lurker.
I am having a problem with my 1990 GT.
Just a quick run down, it has gt40 crate, strim, all the fun addons.
Last year my car started eating solenoids, the ones on the firewall(driver side fender well) So i casually replaced them every 3 months or so. Well i let the car sit for about 5 months and went to start it. The car started briefly(1/2second) then died. I then had no power to the key. So i went and replaced the solenoid and had power to my key again(radio,lights etc) This time the motor wouldnt turn over. Took battery(Optima Yellow) to have it tested. It tested fine. Tested starter, it tested fine, but i replaced it anyways because it was gettin rough. So now with all this stuff replace/tested i still have no power to my starter. I can hear the 255inline prime up real nice, and ythe lights are super bright, so i know the battery is full charge. I was thinking since maybe its been eating solenoids i have a bad ground somewhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys and ill post pic for your enjoyment

Default RE: Starting problem

so no luck, anyone have any suggestion? should i bridge the solenoid to see if i can start without it, and that may be my prob? Are there any main fuses/relays im overlooking? i just think its weird that it started for half second and died. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
