Thanks for the kind words and for the possible issues to look for with the jumping amp meter. I plan to give it a complete tune up first since after I posted this yesterday I went to try and start it again and it just cranked for what seemed forever even tried the cold start method I seen on here and that didn't help. Finally got it running drive the kids around the neighborhood and then it stalled at the stop sign and almost didn't start again. I figure it needs a tune up bad. I found the last insurance paperwork in the glove box at it was for 2005, so not sure it has been driven in a while or tuned up. Just glad I made it home yesterday since it was an Hour and a half drive. I must be a little crazy. Oh and just to say, it road amazing down the interstate at 60 MPH, I could even let go of the wheel it drove so straight.

White Spyder, I could only wish to have that garage here as well... Mine is a three car, the garage in the picture is where I bought the car.

I found it in St Paris, my plans are to drive it and enjoy it. I have one window seal in the drivers side back that needs replaced and I just notice some fluids are leaking under the engine/trans area so not sure if the engine or the fluid drive (I hope not) or the trans I will crawl under later and check. I also notice I have electric wipers and they work. Sadly I don't think the radio works but then again I have never been a fan of AM radio.

Wow Casper50, thanks for the fast response.... and thanks... it drove amazing down the back roads and when that turned into interstate I just kept going. All I can say is where has this been my whole life.

So I drove north of Dayton Ohio today and just couldn't pass up buying this car. I have never owned a Flathead yet, but I have owned several older cars. I even have a '63 Mercury Comet in the garage that my son drives and as soon as I put the carb and floorboard back in it... the Dodge is stealing the garage. After making the deal (okay I spent like 3 or 4 days reading every post I could on this site) I bought it and drove it home and about an hour later I pulled into my driveway. The only issues is the gas gauge shows full when it still took 9 gallon to fill it up. The Voltmeter bounces more than the seat and the right front wheel clunks just a little going over bumps. But I will not complain for a car that has less than 51k miles on it. I will have to admit I love the fluid drive I do have at least one question though... what in the world is the lever under the dash in the last picture? Thanks in advance for any help. I am sure I will have more questions as I do things with it.... and of course a name must be figured out.
