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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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 40 Ford tool compartment is lined with a tar paper like material. Is this correct as per original?
Thanks, Steve

Steve, Ford lined the tool trays with the same material that was sandwiched between the outer trunk lid and inner structure. many refer to this material as "waffle" paper. It was done in two pieces, the right side being installed first. The second (left) side was then installed and over lapped the right side just a tad.

Steve, I tried to locate you as I really wanted some photos of your interior for the book. I had left my card on the windshield when the car was parked at the hotel.
Perhaps we can speak???

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I'm so sorry I missed you in Charlotte! Aside from somehow not getting the card you left, I did want to thank you in person for all you do for 40 lovers in general and in particular for helping me personally with a number of questions I've had over the past couple years. My interest in the 40 Ford stems from the cloudmist 4dr standard that I grew up with and learned how to drive on. My dad bought the car new in 40 and was the family car until 1961. I've had a number of 40's over the years including a mandarin maroon sedan that I restored and drove to the national meet in Dearborn 1973 from eastern PA. The cloudmist 4dr I presently have is the most original, rust free, unmolested 40 I have ever owned. I have learned much from your forum answers and comments both here and the Ford Barn. Thanks again for all do, Steve. svmbcs@aol.com

Steve, I'd sent you an email a while back... no response makes me wonder if you'd received it.
I'd really like to correspond with you in regard to your car.

Thanks much.

Mike

Ken, I use the 3/32". If you need some tips when you are ready to install, let me know. Lord knows, I have done enough of these.
Do you have the old ones for a pattern?

Drake sells the correct stuff. As I recall he sells it by 3' x 8' rolls. Around $100.
