New Years Quiz

Ok, I've got psychotic problems with my 89 mustang stocker. It sat on the trailer October to mid December, starting it once a month or so. I put it in the garage {started fine even with a likely low battery] , then I went to take it out of the garage to get into our attic, Nothing, no start. I THINK it made the same noise that it has ever since. Dddddddddddd, a fast metal buzz. I charged the battery, in fact I,m pretty sure it charged overnight at the 30 amp rapid setting on my almost new sears fully automatic charger. Tried to start it and the same noise. I thought maybe the charger stayed at 30 amps all night and fried the battery. New battery, same noise. I replaced the starter solenoid, same noise. I Moved the ground cable from the factory placement on the Alum t-chain cover to the head with a clean area, same results. I got a new starter, same results. Heres what may be my problem, I checked various wires to see if they were grounding, the solenoid to starter wire showed itr was grouning, I thought maybe it was the wire, but I disconnected it and the post on the starter where it attaches shows grounded. This can't be right,did I somehow fry the starter and now it's grounding to the body of the starter? Help! What is odd is that obviously something wasn't right from the beginning. Do I have a ground somewhere that started this whole mess? Yes I have tried jumping the solenoid with the same results. I believe the Dddddd noise is the positive voltage hitting a grounded starter post, my next step is to return the new starter and try another, BUT I KNOW you Brainiacs will come to my rescue!Thanx in advance
