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!)

Hey Mike,
I got a glove box for a 40. Standard from Carpenter's and it has a hole about 7/16ths . In the bottom about an inch and a half back from the left side mounting hole for the hinge. Is this the location for the clock wire and did a standard box have this hole? what screws do you use to attach box? I talked with Ray Nacewicz and he said that no one makes the original screws.
Thanks very much
Ronnie

by the way,I saw Bob Jones at Carpenters today and he said to tell you Hello. Real nice fellow

Ronnie,
Finding a correctly reproduced glove box liner for any 1940 Ford, whether a Ford V8 (aka: standard) or a deluxe model is nearly impossible today.
The Ford V8 liner was black cardboard both inside and outside. NO hole in the bottom for a clock wire as Ford NEVER offered a clock in the Ford V8 models. There should be no "folding" witness marks on the outside of the liner.
I did manage to find a perfectly copied liner from a comapny that advertised on eBay. About twice the cost as Carpenter but it was CORRECT.

Bob Jones? Yes, one heck of a good guy!!!! Thanks for passing along his "h*llo".

Kind regards,
Mike

ALL deluxe models came equipped with a clock. A clock was not offered in the V8 models (aka: Standard)even as an option.
