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:

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.

Terrible news. A couple of years ago I planned a business trip to Detroit just so I could go by his place and pick up a bunch of stuff I needed (and more that I might need). His assistant was out, so he had to figure out where she kept the labels for each kit he assembled by hand from the many bins in his shop. It was interesting to learn that he was originally from Agawam, MA, which is back my way. Very helpful and knowledgeable, as others have already said. Condolences to his family and friends, as well as to the entire early Ford hobby. He will be missed.

For those of you who only knew my long-time friend as a helpful voice on the telephone. He will be sorely missed.

May he rest in peace.

Great picture Dave. It pretty well shows Roy as we all will remember. Either a Ford or Ohio State hat and a whimsical grin.

The hall at the funeral home was full -- while I go back with my involvement with Roy well before many, it was none the less an unbelievable out pouring of love and affection from all in attendance. I personally saw many others who I would not have met if it was not for knowing Roy. Thanks Roy. You improved my life and enhanced my involvement in old Fords and the Early Ford V-8 Club. And not to mention the great job you did in mentoring your children, your step children and your grand children.
I wish you were still here to continue to guide us on our journey.

This is the photo which appears on page 4 of the July/August 2019 V8 Times.

I thought that some of the members who frequent this site might like to see it in color.

Click on the image to enlarge it.

R.I.P. Roy ..... thanks for being being so friendly and helpful.
