You all have really good suggestions on what my problem is. I will have to look into those.

Pat is right about the flashing lights. I was cruisin the 54 Studebaker one nice afternoon, and a Highway Patrol pulled me over. I figured I must have done something wrong, but had no idea what. He said "Nah, just wanted to look at your car". We compared engines between his patrol camaro and my studebaker. He didn't want to trade drivetrains.

In parting he did say "Ya really should have a plate on the front, but I won't make ya put it on".
