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!)

Thunder, It may be best to address your unique questions / concerns in separate posts so more folks would be likely to view them.

The insulating paper within the trunk lid, as well as other places, is addressed in the book. It is by the way, about 1/8" thick.
Locations of the glass date codes is also addressed.

I have a very very original 40 Deluxe Coupe with 11/39
and 12/39 dated glass that has 39 style inner structure
to the trunk lid. The lid appears original to the car
and is like the 40 lid shown in the photo previously posted.

In this picture of the inside of the 1939 coupe trunk lid you can clearly see the saturated felt , adhered to the middle section. This I\4 inch heavy sound deadening ,tar paper was used in various locations . Are these locations possibly going to be portrayed in the new book? Also the correct location of the Ford script / date code/ etching for the glass?

That's a picture of a '39 trunk lid. It is possible a few of these were installed on '40 Fords but that would have been in August of 1939, perhaps, PERHAPS, in to September.

Thank you for the information. Now days you don't see to many cars left with the original running boards. On the 39 -40 coupe trunk lids, are you showing the underside inner structure differences? Or the outside?

ALL authentic running boards had a series of holes in them to allow the vulcanizing process a best adherence.

I have included photos of both the '39 and '40 coupe trunk lids.
