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!)

Some of us are still there! Enjoying the Greenfield Village Motor Muster. EXTREMELY hot today and that cut into attendance at the Motor Muster. About 15 members showed up -- not like Saturday when we had over 50! Enjoyed the presentation on how the V-8 was developed. Especially liked the 'Past in Review'.
Thanks to all that showed up. The swap meet with Charlie and Alice was great. Lots of interesting stuff -- including all new old parts from Dennis Carpenter.
National Meets are a big part of the Early Ford V-8 Club-- let's have many more!!!
Gee, I still have 619 miles and a ferry ride left to go. For those that were here, glad you made it home safe.
Sorry, won't have pictures until I return home--- forgot the camera cable.

I forgot my camera cable too. By forgot I mean I forgot where I packed it. Found it last night. Thanks to all who volunteered to make this a great show.

A very generous FordBarn member, stangblue, shared links to his photo albums. I hope he doesn't mind me spreading the word.

As far as I can tell, you will not need to be a member of either FordBarn, or Facebook to see pictures (I use a desktop PC).

Another user added this tip: "As soon as you click on each individual link, be ready to click on the picture that comes up that has a +10, or a +6, etc. You will then be able to flick thru the pictures using the RIGHT or LEFT arrows. No FACEBOOK here, either!"

What a great photo summary! Thanks Jeff H. & Craig for sharing all those photos.
While I generally don't do "parking lot" shows. I really wanted to go to this one.
Looked like a good representation of all the Early Ford V8's. Maybe next time, we'll both be healthy.
Thanks again,
Paul

I always enjoy attending these EFV-8 Club meets, and especially the Grand National Meets. A big THANK YOU to everyone who had a hand in putting this one together. I took many pictures during the seven days there, and have posted some on Fordbarn. Will probably post more there and maybe on Facebook. If I could post more than one picture at a time here, I would have posted them here, but I can post the links to my pictures so folks here can view them. In addition to the GNM, we attended Motor Muster, the Gilmore Museum, and then to Auburn to see progress made on the addition to the Foundation Museum. Prior to arriving in Dearborn, we visited the Crawford Auto-Aviation Musium in Cleveland, Ohio. Definitely a great time seeing all the nice early Ford V8's and meeting up with so many new and old V8ing friends. Looking forward to 2019 Auburn CNM, and driving my 35 fordor to the 2020 WNM in Alamosa, CO .

Here's my favorite Grand National memory --- getting interviewed by Matt Anderson, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford, during the Greenfield Village Motor Muster. What an honor.

OK.....that wasn't actually during the Grand National, it was after.
Then this is --- participating in the Behind the Scenes Tour of the Benson Ford Research Library and actually getting to see Henry Ford's employee badge. It isn't always about the cars.

While neslb01 was in The Benson Ford Research Center, he was seen flipping through photos on a display terminal, maybe they were Rotunda photos. He had this one up on the screen and commented that this was a Zephyr prototype. Sadly I only got this screen grab, and didn't get a shot of him at the controls of the terminal.

Edit to add: Thanks for the HF employee badge pic. I missed seeing that item on the afternoon run-through of BFRC! Please tell me it wasn't on the same table as the Clyde Barrow letter, which means it was right under my nose and I overlooked that gem.
