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!)

Hello,
My 37 Fordor Deluxe has an ash tray in the rear face of the front seat. My dilemma is that I had the seat reupholstered and they covered up where the ash tray goes. Now I have to cut into the upholstery and make an opening just the right size in just the right location. I can blindly feel the opening but don't recall the details on how the ash tray mounts into that space. Does anyone have a picture showing the ash tray mounting structure and how the tray is mounted into it?
Help is much appreciated,
gregg

Bingo, you guys are extremely helpful. I was guessing what to do next. Just installed the dome lights and switch. It took some trimming of the B pillar upholstery from MAC's, but not bad.
Again, the pics you sent and the FB link will be instrumental in installing the ash tray tomorrow. If I can ever return the favor...
I have a 37 Tudor, Fordor and two Sedan Deliveries. I am hooked on this year for some reason.

Thanks for the high resolution pics. I now need to search around for the mounting plate and two screws. I hope to locate the two mounting holes in the seat frame also.

Once the mounting plate is in the seat back hole you can find the screw holes with an awl or ice pick.

Gregg.

Sorry for the inadequate photo in the post above.

I have been having some tech difficulties lately.

I sent you a private message on the FordBarn yesterday.

Do you still need the photos of the rear deck, robe cord, and armrest?

TonyM.
