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!)

Gary, this is the largest antique automoble flea market/swap meet/car corral/car show of its kind anywhere in the world. You will be amazed at its size. Tuesday, Oct. 9, is vendor setup day, but also a great day to find things as the vendors unload for setup. Spectator's are allowed to walk in on Tuesday, as well as the other 4 days of the event. In my opinion Tuesday through Thrusday are the best days to be there. Venders start packing up on Friday, and many are gone by mid afternoon. I'll be at space RCA 106 in the Red Field by the old stadium. If you come, look me up. I might even have some leads on a 35 grille for you

Get a room well before you go. No one mentioned that it is a 5 day event.
Also, once again thanks to Dennis Carpenter, the Early Ford V-8 Club will have a presence there on the Chocolate Field. Stop by to say HI, look at the Club's books we have for order and even sign up or renew your membership.

Gary, I have no idea where you are located. If you are in the USA, I think you can find a nice used grille for much less than $2500.00. I see quite a few of these at swap meets at less than $1000.00, and nice enough to use in a driver. I'll be at Hershey next month, where I usually see several. I don't buy much on Epay, I'd rather see what I'm getting in person.

I also think you have a reproduction grille. Looks very much like one I bought back in the 60's, and was made in Argentina
I would suggest trying to find an original 35 Ford grille, made in the USA..

Are the horizontal strips across the vertical bars stainless steel and removeable? If not then I definitely think you have an old reproduction grille.
