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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I had a 37 rumble seat cabriolet (or was it a convertible?) and it did not have the hub caps painted body color. Is this right?

I'm sorry for your loss.
Your Dad chose a beautiful car to restore and it looks superb. I love the color!
I inherited some nice old Fords from my Dad as well and when I work on them it feels like he's looking over my shoulder and reminds me of the times we worked together.
I hope you can keep and enjoy it for a while or forever.
Good luck.

Inherited my Dad's 29-Pick up,30-Coupe,34-Cabriolet,36-5 window and 40 Hot Rod.

Jessica,

The area on your hubcaps where they were 'over-painted' is shown in the photo below.

Charlie,

Right on! Immediately above your note is another good example of not bothering to read or comprehend that which preceded.

Jessica,

Your hubcaps are fine; they're '37s and just need to have some of the paint removed.

Jessica,

You have a VERY nice car. Keep in mind that the comments are intended to be constructive and people are not trying to say that it is not a VERY nice car. In fact there are very few cars as nice as yours. If someone tells you something is not correct, be sure to verify that what they say is correct before you change anything. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Go slow and the best of luck.

HI Jessica
nice 37 FORD ROADSTER
it is a ROADSTER, has no roll up windows, and the side curtain buttons on the top of doors,
this is about the only difference, that there is, between a ROADSTER and CABRIOLET 78-760-A
1937 Never has a fold down windshield,
I did see it seemed to have 1938 hub caps,
I have owned a CABRIOLET since 1974 and the CABRIOLETS had roll up windows, which I prefer,
hope this helps 37 RAGTOPMAN , MAINE
I posted a picture of my 1937 CABRIOLET, RUMBLE SEAT

Put yourself in Jessica's place. She has asked for knowledgeable help and plans to show the car. If anything goes, how is she going to separate the wheat from the chaff?
