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 really do not know if they are different, carpenters looked like the original so I bought them,, they are Paul Bradley floor pans, what nice man he is. If I was buying today I would I would probably go with carpenters one piece , I have a lot of welding a head of me. Carpenter was not making them when I stopped at P. B. Place.

Just saw your request to Mike regarding underneath floorpan photos....are the rockers by Carpenter different from the EMS offering?

My question is for 32-48 Fords in general, but the particular car is a 39 which Mike has addressed and I believe holds true for all the above years...

Mitch,

It might help if you added the year and body type of your vehicle to your profile and to your post.

Looking at the drawings on Drake's site, the 1932 floor pan appears to be welded on top of the subrails.

It looks as if that is the only one that has the sub-rails, but check with the 32 Adviser for the correct answer.

Once again, I can only answer for 39 - 40. The sub-rails are set atop the pan. They are welded.

For instance, Drake sells separate 32 sub-rails (RH B-20022/LH B-20023) and also the complete floor (B-20019, which includes the floorpan) made by United Pacific. My question is: does the floorpan sit under the sub-rail or on top. Kubes seems to suggest that the floorpan is welded underneath the sub-rail, but you seem to suggest that the floorpan sits on top of the sub-rail...am I interpreting both answers correctly?

I don't know what you mean by subrails, but the floor pan on the years covered by the EFV-8 Club all sat on top of the frame rails.
