Since you said "restoration" that usually signifys fresh paint. Paint makes an amazing insulator. Run a jumper cable from your starter housing to the battery terminal that you call ground then try to crank it over. Im guessing you have a poor ground.

If it still doesn't want to spin, remove the starter and bench test it.
