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 want to remove the grille on my '36 coupe so that I can then remove the radiator to have it cleaned, but it appears that some of the screws are only accessible if the radiator is removed first. Is this correct or can I do it in the order stated? Preferred so that I don't damage the radiator by banging it against the fan.

It's a time consuming knuckle skinner kind of job, but all the grille fasteners should come undone for you.

We took our '36's rad out that way, using lots of PB Blaster first as a penetrant.

Photos were taken during the job. If you would like to provide an email address, I can forward them for your review. Or send a PM if you prefer.

I was looking at that job in the spring, Car is up for the winter now. Could you send me some photos via e-mail? I looked at it in the fall and you are correct about it being a knuckle skinner of a job. If you can I would appreciate it. My e-mail is cfd_car3@yahoo.com (there is an underscore between cfd and car3 )

Photos with a brief explanation have been forwarded by email to Roger and Dave.

I've saved the message and would be pleased to pass it on to anyone else who is interested.

I would love to see the removal information you have. I just had a Christmas miracle and a 36 my Dad's had for years started easily after a long hibernation. This got me motivated to try and figure out the overheating problem it's always had.
Thanks!
