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!)

The dividers and the interior garnish are not the same for the convertible and wagon as for the other models, so be cautious about any you find or are offered to be sure it will work, as you may already know. Finding convertible parts can be a real hunt. I looked for over a year for the windshield bright trim for my '47, and found that the windshield gasket was also special, even though two vendors told me the closed car type "would work". They don't.

You might place a want ad on this site in the classifieds. You might also place an ad in the wanted section of the Fordbarn( www.fordbarn.com). Just for info be wary of anyone from a foreign country contacting you and saying they have the parts. I posted a want ad on this site and got three e-mails from some guy telling me he had the items.You can tell how they word their e-mail that they are from a foreign country. Ask for a photo of the item and tell them that you only buy from people in the USA. You won't hear from them again.

I have a nice homemade one. It was made from 3 pieces (the middle and 2 ends braised together. Painted and mounted would be hard to distinguish from original. $40 plus shipping. Can send pic's. Let me know.

The center piece is a heavy piece of metal, not a flimsey piece of trim Its job is to add strength the tho center of the windshield. You could call Lauren matley and ask he he know w where you could get The upper and lower are just clips to dress up the look of the windshield. Failing him giving you an answer tjher Jerry Veley Jimorrr I cant remember where he is locater, but its in the midwest maybe nebraska. Sure someone will have his number
good luck

42 ford--the 41-48 conv were heavier but the `37-`40 conv. were thinner, the same thickness as the window garnish because the 37-40 conv.[unlike closed cars and 41-48 convs.] had a perminent welded in divider. the 37-39 conv. were the same and will fit but are different on the ends than a 40 conv.

That is a tough piece to find. The piece you need fits Convertible and Wagon. I have both a conv and wagon and can verify this info. Barry is correct, the center piece is made like the other 2 parts of the garnish molding, same material. The piece will have 2 holes in the middle for the screws that hold the rear view mirror on. Later today I can take a picture of the piece if you need one.

Jerry Veley recently passed away, he lived in Oregon and restored Sportsman and Woodies.

Dennis, this first picture you will notice has a hole at each end, one hole is for the w/s wiper switch the upper hole is for the antenna rod. This is for a radio equipped car.

The next msg will have a picture of one for a car with no radio, so it only will have the w/s wiper switch hole.
Good luck finding one. I had an extra I sold years ago

The hole with the notch is for the w/s wiper switch.
