Have you reached out to prior owner of the vehicle to ask if he deleted or cut any wires out of harnesses? Or has the prior owner pretty much been non-responsive?

Check all grounds in engine bay, make sure they are making proper contact. Even if they "look good", remove them, get some Emory paper or sandpaper and clean both the connector and the surface to which it is being secured to - even if it means to scrape a little paint to get a true metal to metal contact.

Check all routing of the harnesses under the dash and look for any cut wires, grounds that may be disconnected or loose.
We’ve pretty much figured out all the wiring on the car at this point and have rewired a lot. Thing is the was was perfectly fine when we drove it and such. Even shut it off and started it a few times as well. The owner had loosened up the suspension to make it not so stiff on the trailer ride home so I could imagine how much the front end of the car was going up and down on the ride back home and possibly loosened something up. At first I was thinking maybe the car was thinking it was stolen because I had to get out of the window when we loaded it on the trailer and got in the same way?. I’m thinking now it could be possible corrosion in the fuse box or a wire on the pcm plug/pin is bad.

Might have found the culprit with the help of fmc_smt.
I have no connection between the blue wire and pin 14.

SOLVED - replaced fusebox with the harness connected to it and car fired right up. looks like alternator is overcharing a bit too and we are thinking it has to do with the way the boost leash is wired

Glad to hear you got it back up and running. May need to do a battery reset to procedure to get charging within specs now.
