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!)

Hi Mike,

We were wondering if you or anyone else knew of a place that has the original rose sand metallic paint color for the interior? We weren’t able to match our examples as they are all scratched and faded. Would you happen to know of a contact?

Thanks,

Allen S.

Unfortunately I do not have a great supplier for the dash colors. The fellow that mixed mine passed away and took the formulas with him. He guarded those formulas so now I am left at the same point many '40 restorer's are. That is, finding another place to custom mix the colors to my satisfaction.
Sorry i can not be more help with this dilemma.

Thanks Mike and Roy for your responses. We'd like to take a look at the formula you have for the Rose Sand Metallic.

Here in Hawaii, we don't know of any correct '40 Fords as far as colors go. So we've been at a disadvantage at matching colors, but we've been getting much help from the mainland. We think we have the correct maroon, but if you have the formula for the maroon, could we get that also, to check against what we have done already.

On a side note, Roy, we’ll be installing the transmission to engine bolts and front shock bolts that you sent us not to long ago, today.

Thanks from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

I'm keen to get this information also. I must say I'm surprised it's not documented/easily accesible already?

Gary,

Roy has posted his phone number and will supply you with the formula if you call him. The web site for his business is:

He specializes in supplying the correct bolts and correct "bugs" for the glass.
