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.

A recent wiring problem caused me to finally bite the bullet and purchase "the book" so long recommended by this forum. Some help with the wiring problem, but the real payoff came when was shocked to discover that my 46's two tone blue cloth interior was not a detriment to any future sale (as I had always assumed) - but is instead exactly pictured on page 37 as one of several CUSTOM interiors originally programed for late 46 early 1947 cars, that were so popular they were carried over to 1948!! Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am sooooooo happy.

Sounds like you have a real gem. Whenever someone ask's questions about '41 thru '48 Fords I always recommend purchasing the book from the V-8 Club. Sometimes I just flip thru it and there is always something to learn.

Our club books were created by very dedicated volunteers. It's amazing how all of these people have donated their time and effort to produce some of the finest Ford books in the hobby. Thanks for the praise on the book. I'm sure it's appreciated by those who made it happen.

It really does blow my mind that fellows will spend tens of thousands of dollars purchasing a vintage Ford V-8 automobile but will not purchase the reference materials for their year and model. Glad you have seen the light. The club books are the superlative reference works for these vehicles.

One thing I neglected to mention in my first statement, is that even though you don't own a particular year of Ford car, you can purchase the other "guide books" offered by the V-8 Club, to learn about other years. All of them are a wealth of information.

Murphy,

They are talking about the 41-48 Ford Book, available from the Early Ford V-8 Club on this site. There is an excellent one covering the 35-36 Ford as well.

Go to the home page and click on Shop under Online Store, then click on Ford Books. You will see them all listed. They are well worth the cost.

Ken
