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.

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!)

Thanks trjford8,
I have pointed these out to the upholsterer.I may have to find another one,this guy has done several cars for me but never nothing this old and original.It would still be nice if someone had a picture of the headliner in a 40 standard tudor.It would ease my mind
Thanks

I think it is great that LB is standing behind their product. I'm just surprised that the kit was sent out wrong in the first place. Just for information if you paid to have the kit installed I would question the installers qualifications based on the installation of the headliner. It's very loose. If LB sent the wrong headliner then that could explain the looseness of the material. The corners where the windlace meets at the top corners of the doors is also installed wrong.

Thanks to everyone for the help on my interior. LeBarron Bonney recognized there was a problem and even though I bought the kit over a 1 1/2 yr. ago and just had it installed, they are going to make it all good.
What other company would do that. Great people to deal with also. If all the companies that you have to deal with when restoring a car were like that it would be a whole lot easier.
Thanks again
Ronnie

Ronnie,
The interior shown in your photo is just plain incorrect. The seat material is incorrect, the side panel material is incorrect. Neither are even close to authentic in appearance. The method utilized to finish the B pillar is incorrect. The method utilized to join the ends of the windlace at the corner is incorrect.
The head liner material appears to be correct but is installed quite loose.
I, like others before me, would urge you to contact LB and request samples for your year and model.
Respectfully, Mike Kubarth

Ronnie, see if LB will send you a copy of their 40 tudor installation instruction sheet. That will give you an idea of what the panels look like and how they are installed. They can also send you a complete list of sample material for the tudor deluxe.

I do not remember stripes on the 1940 Ford interior. I think that they may have sent you 41 samples.

I believe that the 40 had 2 materials available for the Ford, taupe broadcloth and taupe bedford cord.

If I am wrong someone will correct me.

Thanks for the reply Tom

The interior cloth sample that LeBaron Bonney sent me shows that a 40 standard coupe and the 39 and 40 deluxe models have the soild [no stripes] material on the side panels,and the 40 standard tudor and fordor sedans have the same material on the side panels as on the seats[with stripes]. I need to question them about this also. Thanks for the information.

The sidewall material for a 40 Ford does not have stripes. The sidewall material should meet the headliner at the line near the top of the door and window.

I do not have a Tudor interior photo on this computer, but here is a link to a brochure drawing of the Fordor interior. The Ford Tudor interior would be similar.
