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 recently been cheated and feel it best to inform others so they may avoid the same fate.
Guy (Don Ingersol) had been very communicative but what i didn't know is what was NOT said.
The communication has become non-existent since I'd told him I was not pleased. He had his chance to make it right and chose not to. Very telling of the individual.
I have all of the communication should any of you desire...
My advice? Member or not, stay away...

How did you pay. PayPal, credit card? If so file a complaint with PayPal or dispute the credit card payment. JMO

Check. I would not trust a promise to refund at this point.
I'll live with the loss. Just don't want others to suffer the same fate.

Update... the seller, Don Ingersol, finally responded to me. His response was "they were the best I had". No apology, no offer to what might make me happy, no addressing the fact each arm is bent and pitted badly. Nope, just ".... the best I had".
Okay the best cr*p he had still means these bumper arms are cr*p. NOT what I was led to believe they were.

When dealing with sellers it may be best to be up front and nice and firmly say what you want to happen. I have found one mans junk can be another mans treasure.

4 or 5 years ago I placed an order with Joe's Antique Auto. The next day I saw I had a missed call on my phone from Joe's. I called him back and he said the credit card he had on file for me was expired. I provided the updated info but he said "don't worry, I've already shipped your order". When I expressed my surprise about shipping something that he technically hadn't been paid for he told me that old car guys are honest. I guess that doesn't always hold true. At least not anymore.

40coupe, you are correct and may rest assured that after fifty years in this hobby, I know to ask questions. Still, that doesn't protect me from a liar.
Don Ingersol, who advertise here flat out deceived me.
I'd given him the chance to offer a compromise. His response was the parts were the best he had.
Ha! Even though they didn't match what he told me.

I'll live. It was only $150, a sum that apparently is sorely needed by a man that casts aside ethics for that small amount.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for "Joe's". He is top notch and will go the extra mile for you. More than once he has tracked down an item which has been listed as " out of stock " and found it for me. As already mentioned, friendly and prompt service will bring back customers time and time again.
