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 have a '47 ford convertible I am slowly restoring. I bought it as the proverbial "bucket of bolts, but everything is there..." I'm at the point where I want to install the rear seat, but my re-upholstered upper seat doesn't fit where the mounts are. I'm pretty sure the mounts have been tack welded in the wrong place. It looks like the former owner was trying to delete the top and just mount the seat to the rear of the passenger compartment. Anyone able to take a picture of the stock rear upper seat mounts, with the top irons, so I can get an idea of what I need to fabricate?

The rear cushion does not mount to the body , it hangs on the package tray with 2 hooks on back of cushion & the bottom bolts to 2 short brackets welded to floor. The tray is a piece of 5/8 plywood with a piece of 5/4 by approximately 3 inches mounted to the front of the plywood for the hooks.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. I got an image in my mind of what it should look like, but would love a picture from anyone.

What are the measurements of the plywood piece? Looks like 5/8 thick as mentioned above, width will obviously be determined by the wheel well mount points, but depth?
