FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

My Chassis Parts and Price list dated May 1 1940 (yellowish cover)shows this hanger but I can't tell in the picture if the rubber is sheilded with metal or not. I have seen both version of these and wonder which one is concourse correct or perhaps maybe both are due to build date. I have an early V8 coupe, mid year 40 convertible and a very late Deluxe wagon. Thanks in advance

Hi Deuce,
Regardless of manufacture date there was but one hanger for '40 passenger cars. It is NOT wrapped in metal as the old 40 restoration book eludes to. The metal wrapped hangers were after-market and offered by numerous suppliers (Coast to Coast, Whitney, Wholhert, etc.) but NOT Ford.
The correct hanger looks nearly identical to the muffler support / clamp. The difference is in the length of the mast.
As a 'side note' the muffler support / clamp currently offered by most of the repro places is actually 1941 and later. That one appears rectangular. Having an 11A prefix should tell those suppliers it isn't correct for pre '41 but I digress

I have attached a photo of the correct pieces.
Regards,
Mike Kubarth

Mike, I figured that would be an easy question for someone with your knowledge! While I am qualified to and have judged 32,33 and 34s at National Meets, I lack a lot when it comes to my 40s. I would love to be a novice judge under you at a National Meet. I have found that is an excellent way to learn what is correct and what is not. Will you be judging anytime soon?
It might be an interesting format for a book, judging a car from stem to stern with pictures of the common mistakes and what is correct.

Looking forward to the new 40 book whenever it is done. I can imagine it is a mammoth project, but I feel good about knowing someone of your calibre is at the helm.
Thanks again

Hey Deuce,
Thanks for the very kind words. Although undeserved, I appreciate the sentiment very much.
You and I apparently have a lot in common! I recently purchased a 34 coupe that has been in the same (dry) parked spot since 1949. While a very nice & unmolested car, I know so very little about it.
Maybe we can trade knowledge bases? Hmmm? It seems to me that 34's are much more difficult to research
than 40's. I read and read and read. Still... I am at the very beginning of the requisite learning curve.
I will no doubt judge at the NY meet in July and at the Indiana meet in August. It would great to have you as part of the team. I like for the entire team to operate as just that - a team. We can all learn from one another.
RE: the book: While I am attempting to offer a ton of detail in the new 40 book in all areas, I am attempting to go into especially great detail in areas I know many folks make the most common mistakes during their restorations.
My best regards to you...
Mike

Hi Mike,

Would you paint or powder coat the hangers? Thanks Ken

Hey Ken, It's been a while. I hope you are well.
I powder finish my exhaust systems. I am certain paint would be just fine as well.
Take care!
Mike
