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.

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 am a new member. I have a 1941 Ford 2 door coupe that I am needing to replace the right rear quarter panel from about halfway above the rear tire to almost the trunk. Height wise it needs replaced from just below the crease in the body down if this makes any sense. I am wondering what year Ford and/or Mercurys are the same here as my 41. Thank you for any help.

Contact Dennis Carpenter to see if they can help you locate the part you need.

Thank you CarCrazy. I don't believe anybody makes patch or repair panels for a 1941. I've tried Dennis Carpenter , Bob Drake, CW Moss, EMS, EBAY, Early Ford Parts, and a few other metal fabrication companies and haven't had any luck. That is why I was wondering what years would be the same as I am sure I am going to have to go salvage yard scrounging.

The cars most closely related to the 1941 Ford are Fords from the 1942 to 1948 model years. Mercuries from 1941 to 1948 are similar and might work.

While true that the 1941- 1948 Ford & Mercury coupe body's are the same. Be aware that there are to different coupe body's, a long door and a short door. You should call Mark Kicsak, he may still have some 1941-1948 Ford or Mercury parts cars. He is an expert on those year Ford & Mercury. He lives in south central New York State. His phone number is 607-729-1693. Call him soon as he goes to Florida for the winter. Fred Killian

Something changed in 1942 as the quarter panel starts with a 21A prefix instead of 11A. Used the same P/N thru 1948.
I suspect it's in the area of where the running board attaches as the 41 running boards are different than the 42-48. My guess is the later quarter will work but may require some modification or fabrication.
