Well here we go. The "title Number" on my title is a 184 number for a 41 Ford. With the great data that was provided to me this would obviously be a problem. I did find the number on the back framerail and sure enough it is a 185 number. That being said the 18 are missing from the overall number and it starts with a 5.

Ugh, now I am off to go discuss with DMV.

Thanks again for your help
