This showed up in my driveway this week.It's a really solid 42K original mile car.....Been in storage over 25 years....and,it runs like it! Included with the sale was every registration since new with mileage at the time written on the back....pretty cool! Do we have any Flathead Gurus on here ?? I have a feeling I'm going to need some guidance to get this old turd operating dependably!!

Dave....My wife says if I ever plan on bringing that rusty old thing near her.....she wants plenty of warning in advance so she can get a tetnus shot!

Lee,I have already been on the Fordbarn site and have received lots of suggestions and help.I sent the carb off to Uncle Max to be rebuilt and I am currently sorting out the fuel and spark issues.You're right,lots of good folks over there!

If that was mine the only things I would change would be juice brakes and a better gear in the rear and run the wheels off of it. Jeff
