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!)

I want to get a 37 tool bag made but have no details or photos to go by. If someone has a correct looking bag, would like a photo and details

A leatherette tool bag (B-17005-A1) was designed to hold the small hand tools. While there were two versions of this bag, the later A2 design described below was seldom used.
According to engineering drawings, the bag was made from M-2388, leatherette, or when available, surplus rubber, whipcord or leather. In other words, any suitable material was most likely used to produce this tool bag. Thus, colors varied but normally would have matched scr*p leatherette from the production line.
The tool bag most commonly produced was the A1 design. Approximately 11" wide by 6" high when closed, this bag had two 5/8" diameter metal snaps, plated either S6, S7, S8 or S28 securing the flap. The flap’s approximate dimensions were 11" x 2½".
Rarely observed today, even in extremely well-preserved vehicles is the A-2 design. Made from identical materials as the A1 design, this bag was approximately 12½" high and 7" wide when closed. The end flap was approximately 7" x 2½" and had only one snap, placed in the center.

Before you have a bag made, check with Lin Stacey, he may have one already made. linstacey@sbcglobal.net

The one that I bought from him for my 40 looks great.

Wasn't there also a burlap bag for the jack, at least for the '37s?

I make V8 tool bags. I use black vinyl top material, just like the original Ford V8 Tool Bags. My bags are the 2 snap style. I sell my Ford V8 Tool bags at Hershey for $20. If you've been to Hershey, we are in the Orange field - we have the "Ford V8 Tools" display board on an easel out in front of our space.
I could mail you a tool bag if you are interested or we also sell a tool bag with tools for your 37 Ford for $95. Shipping would be extra.

Model A tool bag is different from the V8 tool bag. Model A bag has "short" grain vinyl material and V8 is black "long" grain vinyl material. Carol

With respect, as often as not, surviving original tool bags from the early V8 era were made from surplus artificial leather upholstery material such as the copra drab pyroxylin material used on 1932-'34 open cars, for example, and not necessarily made consistently with either the long or short grain black top material.
