Please Help - Broken Starter and Hot Alternator!? *pictures*

[camaro1969]

I have a really loud grinding when i try to start the car the car, could it be that the starter is not hitting the fly wheel properly or one bolt is torqued more than the other, causing very small, maybe even 1/64th of in inch incline, would this cause the starter to grind? Seems like the little gear in the starter does not want to retract back into the starter after cranking (picture 1)

I re-torqued my start bolts, i cranked it once to see if it fixed the problem, and this is what happened (Picture 2)

ALSO, my alternator gets extremely hot after few seconds of running (when i had it running before the grinding), after like maybe 30-45 seconds, the alternator is really hot, could it be backwards wires? (picture 3)

Picture 4 is the way i wired my alternator to my starter solenoid.

Please help, im unforturnate that i am building this car myself, i have no past experience, and so far have built my car off reading A LOT of your threads, dont post much because a lot of the topic i need to know about are cover.. but please PM if you need more information or pictures.. thanks, thanks in advance!!
