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. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I have been following the discussions on the other tool kits and decided to track down what I needed for my 39 4drdlx.

Looked up in the index what Times articles had mentioned 39 tools. And just by chance I still happen to have an issue from long ago that had a reply from Alan Darr on just such a question! The reply said "tool bag, wrench 7/16" x 1/2 hex open end, wrench 8/16"(that has me puzzled, was it supposed to be 9/16 or ?)x 5/8" hex open end, spark plug and cylinder head nut wrench, screwdriver, adjustable wrench, pliers, wheel nut wrench, starting crank, starting crank extension, tire pump, jack assembly, tire iron, grease gun and tire repair kit. The jack assembly was wrapped in a burlap sack."

Ok, pretty good list, but no pictures are to be found anywhere I have looked on the internet. Anyone have a location to go to or a picture of their own that they are willing to share. Thanks for a second time.

Greg,
The 'standard' kit of tools supplied with you car included:
Large tool bag. This was made of burlap and did NOT have a Ford script.
Small tool pouch. This was made of leatherette.
Open end wrench. 7/16 x 1/2
Open end wrench. 9/16 x 5/8
Screwdriver
Adjustable wrench.
Spark plug / head nut wrench.
Pliers.
Bumper jack w/base.
Tire iron/hub cap tool/jack handle.
Lug nut wrench.

Optional tools were:
Grease gun.
Engine crank / lug nut wrench w/ extension.
Tire pump.

I have photos of each and every tool if you desire.
I strongly advise anyone that needs correct tools for their Ford to contact Lin Stacey, the Tool Adviser for our club. Not only is he the tool 'guru' he is one heck of a nice & ethical guy.

As I suggested in my earlier post, I would contact Lin Stacey, the tool adviser for our Club. If you'd like pictures of specific tools, I need your email address.
You may want to consider purchasing the 38 - 39 restoration manual the Club offers...

Agree with Mike - Lin is the person you want to contact. The email address for Lin in the V8 magazine is incorrect. Should be: linstacey@sbcglobal.net

If you have the V-8 Club's 38-39 book you will see a photo of the tools on page 3-49. It's a good book with a lot of great information. If you do not have it you can order it on-line on this site or you can call 707-226-5256 between 8:00am and 6:00pm PST. This is the number for the people who sell the V-8 Club acessories.

thanks for all of your answers, i really appreciate them but

i guess there is a point somewhere between having a car bought from the dealership in 1939 taken home and put in the garage sealed in a nitrogen environment and opened again 71 years later....and having an old car that has been cared for and you are kind of trying to bring back to it's previous glory without ever hoping to make it perfect but trying to show people what cars were in their glory days.

i am not going to ever win any concourse prizes but just enjoy myself and astonish people when they find out the radio works!

that is about all

thanks again

greg

obtw

anyone have a '39 4 door convert they want to dispose of at some absurdly ridiculously cheap price?? like under 10K ???, didn't think so

enjoy the superbowl
