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!)

You need to provide more details about your problem and maybe some pictures showing us what you have or are trying to put together. The complete and correct front end assembly is critical if all parts are to fit properly.

pops35ford-

It is hard to get a truly perfect hood fit on a '35 Ford hood/grille. However, there is basically only one way to get alignment and that is with the two radiator rods. If you wish give me your direct email (PM if that is more convenient) and I will send you pictures of my '35 hood alignment. The car just turned 40K miles.

Ken, I once had a complete front end sheetmetal allignment procedure for a '35 Ford. It was filed in my computer, but I am not sure how or where to find it now. Many things could affect the height of the hood. Two that I recall from a post on another website were:
1. Cushioning material under radiator support feet was too thick.
2. Recored radiator was incorrectly made higher than the original.

This may sound flaky but, how much room do you have between the fan with a blade in the 12 o'clock position and the radiator?

Ken, How does the grille fit at the bottom with the fenders. Could you take some photos of the grille from top to bottom both with the hood closed and open?
