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!)

Hi,
I know that this has been discussed before,but I cannot find it.
Was the front and rear axles assy. put together and then painted,or
Were they painted and then assembled? Would there be paint
On the shoe adjuster and anchors,backing plate bolts and cotter
Pins ,axle housing bolts? I read where some cars received touch
up when built, But what about the ones that didn't? I am hoping to have my car judged at a early ford show and was wanting to do
It the correct way.
Thanks very much ,

Ronnie

The front and rear chassis parts were painted and then assembled.
As you'd noted, there was on occasion a "chassis touch up" done. It was very haphazard at best and was meant only to cover areas a consumer might see upon a casual inspection.
Thus, typically, even with a "chassis touch up" there would be little to no paint applied to the backing plates.
That being the case and with the assumption you are attempting to build a high point car, you'll want to "error" on the side of detail. That is, no paint on gaskets, bolts, etc.
If I can ever be of any help during your restoration please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,
Mike "Kube" Kubarth
