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:

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!)

A local glass shop can cut the glass for you if you have a pattern, which given that you refer to the part in the singular suggests that you only need to replace one side, and you can apply the Ford logo yourself with a kit from thirdgenauto.com. It's easy to do it yourself.

I made mine for our 34 Phaeton by making a cardboraf templatte and have tempered glass wings made bythe glass shop.
Then etched the logon on them woth some ivy with 1934 in to Ford Oval. They were beautiful but no goo with side curtains in ,
Due to the suicide doors they had to be folded in with e side curtains in place, the peep morrors were mounted to the wings and the wings were mounted to the windshiel. 34 Phaetons were fair weather cars.

Completely agree about fair weather nature of these - I’ve never mounted the side curtains even once !

The picture in my previous post was the 2001 Glidden Tour In Mackinaw City MI. Temp stayed about 43 degrees and rain every day, left the top up and side curtains in the whole week. After that and the 1999 rainy Glidden tour in the Shenandoah Valley, VA, where we parked a Luray Caverns wiht the side curtains off and it poured rain while we were under ground. We went back to closed car touring in our 34 Fordor.
