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!)

Hello,
I need help in determining:
Is this a 37 part?
Does this part (fender apron?) mount inside or outside of the grille/fender assembly? Please refer to pdf with yellow arrows.

The attached pics were taken from underneath the car looking forward at the inside face of the grille.

If this is the correct part, then there will be some pulling & tugging no matter if goes inside or outside, since neither seems to fit well at this stage. So goes the 37 front end assembly (:

Thanks for your help,
gregg

Yes --- fits behind the grille and the single (standard) or double (deluxe) horns opens match up with the two openings.

Also --- pdf is much better than a power point attachment

Hi Nelsbo1,
My real question is if the piece is mounted on the inside perimeter of the grille/fender connection or on the outside perimeter. It is a little hard to describe. Please see my pdfs, and PM me or call me, I want to finish this off asap.
Thanks,
Gregg (520) 404-6829

I would really like to be able to completely answer your question ---but my 1937 (original) went down the road years ago, so I can not head to the garage and check.
Hopefully, a current 1937 owner can check and give you the answer.
If I had to take a guess, I would say that it went inside of the grille --

The horn/splash pan goes inside the grill (see photo).

It took some wrenching, but the apron went in inside the grille edges. See attached pdf.
Your help is very appreciated.
