The Ford Barn

My car has sat since roughly August due to a snapped axle shaft. When I parked it the switch worked fine.

I have tried to start it occasionally this winter despite it being so cold, and now the switch seems to have failed. The battery is fine and the connections are fine. I plan to remove the starter switch to see what is wrong with it. Are there any restoration guides, or what to look for? I have a repro one here, but would rather not use it if I can get the original working again.

Not that any of it matters I guess as I have yet to fix the axle.

I searched, but nothing was coming up here or on Google.

Interior, steering box (rebuild), and I am sure much more!
