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 have a 1935 Standard five window coupe that I am trying to install a waterfall in the center dash. Thus far I have now been able to get a decent fit appearance wise. Problem is in the area of the windshield crank. The curved area does not fit flush to the dash and the screw to attach the handle to the crank mechanism is to short. Any help on solving my problem would be appreciated. Regards: Arnie

Are you sure you have a correct 35 WF its slightly different than a 36 WF ,though I think the side contoure is the same,have you tried a longer screw to pull the WF closer to the dash ???? ken ct. sounds like somethings bent some where ?

Thanks for the reply. Have done some more research and I may have identified the problem. Attached is the mounting area of my dash with a lip protruding outward where the windshield opening handle goes in. My next post will show a photo of a dash on Ebay with the lip missing

Here is the Ebay dash photo with the lip missing. The waterfall would probably fit flush on this dash

You may have a 36 WF trying to go on a 35 dash. The 35 WF may have a recessed area around the backside of the hole to allow for this bump on the dash you have. Or possibly someone installed the wrong dash on your car. ??? ken ct. I have a 36 for going on 30 yrs and know it pretty well. Mines not at my place so I cant check it easily.

That bezel or lip is used on standard model vehicles that did not get a waterfall in production. That piece needs to come off if you want to install a waterfall now. The 35 vs 36 waterfalls are slightly different as Ken already mentioned, but if you are not concerned about correctness, either one for a closed car will work.

I see said the blind man. Just took a good luck at my dash and I now can see that the circular protrusion is a separate piece. Appears that it will simply pop or pry off. will give it a go tomorrow. Thanks for all the help guys. Regards: Arnie
