Default another engine is not starting.... starter???

alright here's the deal. yesterday i got my new e-cutout on the car and fired up the engine. drove it around the block real quick and parked it back in the garage. So....today i did some minor adjustments by tightening my dp and piping. After that, I tried to start the car and the engine won't start. There is all power (new battery), checked all fuses and they're good, checked all ground wires and they're good also. When i turn the key to "ON" lights come on, no check engine light blinking and there is 1 click. Then once i go to turn the key fully to start the car, there is no sound and my fan comes on. No sign of the starter cranking or even trying to crank. I then hooked up a wire from the positive to the starter and nothing happens, no sound or spark effect. Once again i tried to start the engine and had someone hit the starter with a steel bar and still nothing.....

I'm so tempted to take the starter off and go test it at Kragen or some place but i'm just trying to see if there's any other trick.
