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!)

Hi Mike, Question on location. On the rear windows? inner or outer corner? and which one reads normal versus mirror image. On the wind wing? Any? And if so where? I am assuming the bugs read normally from the passenger side? The sometimes on the inside...., per the current/old book does not provide a correct answer. I might as well ask about the windshield. Thanks

Hi Ken,
By coincidence, I had just "bugged" a set of glass for a '40 coupe yesterday.
Each & every piece of glass was identified.
The “bug” would read properly from the right-outside and the left-inside of the vehicle. There was only one exception to this - that being the convertible club coupe rear windshield. That particular piece of glass could have been installed with the "bug" read properly from the inside or outside of the vehicle.
Your reference to placement on the rear windows...did you mean the rear windshields? If so, the bug is at the outer - lower corner.
Hope this helps,
Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Mike I think ya got that backwards...the pass side should read on the outside and the drivers side on the inside. This was a standard set by SAE There is a tutorial on this from Roy Nacewitz..Tom

FYI, On right/left side, I personally have a problem with that so I say driver versus passenger side for American cars. This keeps some my confusion down. And Mike I did not know the two back small windows were windshield. So, yes its those guys, I think. Thanks Again. Wait, the small front vent windows. What about them? Mike, I have a Tudor sedan but I was under the impression on the convertible there was one window at the rear. So when you say windshield, it means??? I did not intend to confuse myself, but I am pretty good at it.

Tom, YOU are correct of course. This is what happens when I attempt to answer questions at 5AM. Lesson learned here is I need to fully awaken and then take a stab at answering questions.
Thanks for catching that so quickly.
My apology for any confusion...

Kind regards,
Mike
