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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

I sent you a pm, but didn't hear back from you. I pulled my original grille for painting and took a quick photo which is attached...no holes on this one

Hello Tom/SC, I also have three extra grills and only the one I put back in the car has these holes in it! I suppose there was a reason they were put in there but I'm not sure by whom! I would like to know so I could leave them there or fill them in!! Cheers, john

Thanks for your reply supereal. The bolt holes I refer to are on the grill and I think the cat's whiskers you mention are on the hood, one each side. Cheers, John

John, I have three 39 Deluxe grilles, one is NOS Ford, the other two I removed from original 39 Deluxe models.I have not seen those holes that you point out on any 39 Deluxe grille. That does not mean that there were not any grilles made with those holes, but I dont see any use for them. Tom

I suspect they are for mounting the die cast, chrome plated trim known as "cat whiskers". Bob Drake shows them on page 35 of his new catalog as 91A-8266/7B, $60 for the pair. His web site is www.bobdrake.com

Howdy, does anyone know anything about the two holes in the middle bar of the 1939 Deluxe grill, half way up in line with the trim clip holes? I have used all the holes to replace the trim on my grill but there are tow holes either side of the middle bar where the latch is that I don't remember what they were used for! If at all! I have attached photos of the grill that show the holes I refer to! I look forward to any help I can get! Thanks. Cheers, John
