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!)

I ordered a deluxe glove box (part # 01A-7008010-B) from DC and I thought there was suppose to be an extra hole for the clock wire.I thought WRONG!Is there an extra hole for the wire and where is it suppose to be located?The quality looks good and the inside lining looks correct.I am not sure how the clock wire goes?

I don't know of anyone that sells a correct glove box liner anymore. As you've noted, Carpeneter's are certainly incorrect.
I would suggest you install the hole and brass grommet yourself. Easy enough to do.
Although sad that it is necessary...

You can get just about any size brass grommet from McMaster-Carr. Just log onto their site and enter "brass grommets" and choose the one you need. Sorry I can't help with the hole location.

The hole for the clock wire (grommet) is approximately in line with the left hole for the hinge bolt. It is located about 1 5/8" rearward of that left hinge bolt hole - center to center.
The inside diameter of the grommet is about 1/4", the OD, about 3/4".

You can obtain grommet kits at any hobby shop - Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. The kits are cheap and easy to utilize.

I have attached a photo, albeit not of the best quality, that should at the very least give you an idea of what you need to replicate.

One more thing that is not mentioned...the rear vertical card board is not covered in fabric (Deluxe models)...just plain back card board. I dont think any of the recent repro's have the brass wire gromment or plain back rear card board. As mentioned in other past posts Standard models are "all" black card board
