Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

My name is Greg and I've been into cars forever, I have browsed this forum a few times so decided to join. Since my Ford is a 50 shoebox I'm at the end of the spectrum but maybe some of our info will apply to all years. My car has been in the family since new, my wife's Great grandmother bought it new in late 49. I'm currently restoring it, I just got it back from the paint shop. I painted it once in the late '80 but decided to change colors this time.

Welcome Greg, nice little shoe box and I love the color. You'll find the Early Ford V8 the Forum full of experience and willingness to share that with other posters. I personally like to see periodic posts of the restoration of cars rather than just pictures of the trophy shows. Keep us informed.

1934 Ford's since 1972

Welcome Greg!
Besides joining the V-8 Forum, I also hope that you also have joined the Early Ford v-8 Club. You can do that online from this site --- securely I can tell you.
Just click on Membership in the left column menu. If you want to mail an application in, you can also print one out there and mail in.
Besides the V-8 Forum, the Club has a lot to offer -- an award winning publication, The V-8 TIMES, Regional Groups, National Meets, Technical Advisors, and of course classified ads.
If you haven't yet, sure hope you join up -- we have a lot of fun with the old V-8 Fords, Lincoln, and Mercurys (Ford Trucks too).

Greg,
Just saw your post! Welcome my friend. Your car is beautiful. The 1950 was my dad's favorite year. You have just joined the best car club you will ever find. Everyone has been nothing but helpful to me over the years. Great members with a common interest and always willing to help each other at the drop of a hat. Something of a rarity these days in this modern electronically connected world. Ive owned two Ford station wagons (1946 & 1942) over the years since 1977; and now own a 1940 V8 (Standard) Tudor Sedan. However, my dream car is a 1952-1953 Country Squire Wagon. Almost near impossible to locate..but Ill never give up. Anyway all my best your "ongoing adventure" in the Early Ford V8 Club. Were here for ya!


Scotty
