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.

Let me be the first of many to welcome you.
As someone will probably suggest, posting a photo of your vehicle will certainly let us reference any areas of information that you may need.
We hope that we can assist you and I would also like to suggest that you consider joining our organization. If not for the information about 1932-1953 Fords Mercurys and Lincolns, but also our world wide membership. You never know, we may have a member that lives not too far from you, or a Regional Group that is not too far away that can offer much assistance with your questions about your vehicle.
Again, welcome to the Early Ford V-8 Club V-8 Forum.

Welcome to the forum. One thing you should do if you own a '36 Ford is purchase the Early Ford V-8 Club's 35/36 Ford book. A great book that will give you a lot of facts regarding your '36. You can purchase the book on the front page of this site or by calling 707-226-5256. This number is for ordering all the V-8 Club books. You'll be glad you purchased it.

Welcome. You might want to add your general location. There may be someone close with the same car. Maybe someone will recommend sources for work on the car. Maybe there is a good show in your area. ETC

As others have posted, get the book, https://shop.efv8.org/collections/ford-books/products/1935-1936-ford-book-softbound.

You should add your email to your profile. People frequently forget to check for incoming messages.

Again, welcome.

How about a pic? If you want to post more than 1 pic you will need to submit another reply, etc., as the site only allows for 1 pic per discussion thread post (other options exist but this will get you started).

We love pics!
