However, since I put the new relay in, and the car started and shut off fine, I decided to take it for a road test. About two miles down the road it shut down. No power at all. Engine shut off, no power windows, no horn. Battery drained. Walked two miles home, got another battery and ride, car started fine and I drove it home. When I got home the alternator was smoking and very hot to the touch. Alternator Fried !!!! I'll update when that problem is solved.

That is a bad voltage regulator, which in turn also caused your OVP to fail, this is usually tied with one of the diodes in the diode bridge thinking its a two lane highway.
