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:

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!)

I am at the same point on my 1936 pickup.
I am going to go with the color of the rivets in the hood bumper kit. I may touch them up with chassis black after I stamp them.

I'm hoping to restore to factory original.

Gentlemen, If I read my 28-36 chassis book correctly, the 34 hood pad rivets have part # 63538-S2 (raven finish) and the 36 truck hood pad rivets have part # 63326-S3 (japan black finish)

I also have seen two roadsters with the hood pad with rivet installed on the outside of the hood. You see the triangle black rubber on the outside when the hood is closed. Is this correct? seems odd. What is the correct way to install it?

Please look at the picture that Don posted again.
If the rubber is on the outside, that defeats their purpose of protecting the painted surface.
So, someone installed them backwards.

Totally agree, just two roadster I have looked at had the pads on the outside. They must not have had the good advice of The Early Ford V8 Club members. Thanks a million.

Gentlemen, The purpose of my photo was to show the black rivet holding the hood bumper in place on my 35 panel delivery. I did not intend to make a statement on whether the bumper was mounted on the inside or outside of the hood corner. I am not an authority on 33-34 vehicles and can not offer an opinion on correctness of hood bumper placement.

Here is a photo of a hood pad on the outside. I'm not sure what the purpose it serves on the out side. Any 34 owners input please.

Don,

Intent or not, yours are in the same position that all of the '32-'36 corner bumpers should be even though their overall shapes and sizes are different year to year (except '33-'34 which are the same for both years). I guess those who install them backward believe the primary function of those bumpers is to protect the sides of the fenders and not the cowl.
