****LAST UPDATE******

I was tired of working on things in the engine bay and then going to the cab and turning the key, or having to get someone to work with me being the 'key-turner'. I do have a detachable solenoid jumper box, though to use it I have to crawl under the car and get the clips attached......UGH

So on a whim, I installed a momentary button Switch.

I put this in parallel with the ignition switch (electrically) and installed it at the downspout attachment point on the driver's side. The wires attach through the engine tin at the starter Solenoid:

I did not hook the back-lit LED to the ignition power yet - will do that as the next step.

Works great - push the button and the car cranks!
Turn on the ignition and push the button and the engine starts!
Yea, Murphy is lurking in the shadows, I know about the risks and they are all mine.
