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!)

A possible source for the kick panel is Restoration Inc in (Winnabow?) Pa. They have the material if you have the pattern. They do a lot of the big meets and are good for screws, clips etc. Hope this helps. 42oink

Mike,

I'm pretty sure that the sheet metal screws retaining the vertical channels for the cowl trim panels had pan heads and were #8s.

Pretty sure I won't be able to find any original Masonite panels. Will have to slowly mock something up. I have a Fordor, so I can check to see if that kick panel area is the same.

I don't think anyone had ever developed an entire kit for the sedan deliveries. I've heard that having the authentic Masonite(?) panels for the storage area to use as patterns is crucial.
The cowl kick panel should be the same as the closed cars of '37, at least in shape (size). Yes?

Thanks Nelsb01.
I will hit them up. Like you say, something is better than nothing. I am wondering if the front kick panels on a sedan delivery are the same as some other model??? In the past when I talked with LB and asked them if they had kits for a sedan delivery, they said no.

As the best source has gone away (LeBaron Bonney) I would check out Mac's.
I just ordered the headliner, door panels and kick panels from them for my pickup and the quality is good, and it even has a pattern, although not as defined as original.
But..........better than nothing.
And, the screws will need cup washers. Those were supplied with the kit, although not the correct finish.

Yeah, good catch on the wiring. Obviously it's not the original cloth stuff. And I put dynamat everywhere I could. Even with that, the Sedan Delivery sounds like a big echo chamber when I drive down the road. Upholstery should help some. The rear quarter paneling is made of Masonite, which probably isn't the best sound absorbing material around.

Good morning Gregg,
I'd asked about your concern as I noted the plastic wiring... I didn't figure were restoring this vehicle but rather, simply putting it together nicely.

The cardboard with that grain was available from LB. Unfortunately for all of us, that is no longer an option. I am unaware of any alternate source. Hopefully, someone else knows and can help you...
