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!)

am trying to remendy a rattle. in doing so have uncovered another part of my car that was scabbed together just to work.. I have disassembled and put back together a driver side door latch. It had the wrong outside handle, and was bent to a degree of shake rattle and roll, If I have problems with this rebuild ,, can you folks direct me to usable door latches for a model 68, 1936 4dr sedan. have searched and searched but i guess in the wrong places. I fear they are few to be had..... thanks dobbr

I have a 1936 4 door Hump Back and enjoy detective work looking for parts. But, when you say "latch", do you mean door handle or the latch which holds the door shut?
If you send me a list of wanted parts ... I would help looking.

Watch e-Bay and also run a want ad on this site and the Fordbarn (www.fordbarn.com). I believe the right rear latch from a fordor sedan will work on the left front door.

Mr Rogers, here is the latch with the new handle I am wishing to use. the old one was crooked and bent however the door latched ... now the door latches but not open from out side. If you blow up the pic there is a beveled spot where the handle inserts ,,, i walered that out so the square handle can rotate more, for the bevel was stopping it from rotating as far as it needed to. The old handle was adapted to work at a angle. The latch is what I may need if this doesnt work, hopefully it will. Or I may shim the latch further from the striker to afford the latch to completely release. ??? I should have left good enough alone...
As far as parts,,, really this is the only one I am messing with. I am calling the car done,, except for paint and that can wait Thanks I would be interested if you find a treasure of parts for future You see I went a bit straying from original Front end is mustang II the rear parts are a Fairlane the motor is aftermarket ,,,, and it flys Am looking forward to the spring Basiclly it is a newer car with a old top..

Mr Don Rogers,, this appears to be the exact set up I installed yesterday (again) .. ecept the extreme lower hang down,, I guess that is the remote entry?? What is this trim book??
Mr Rogers I have used Macs , and obsolete, they have the basics and you have to inspect what you get. Really close!!
Me being a new comer to the site along with learning about my car, Thank you for sending me so much interest.
Now for the rest of the story,,, I reinstalled after doing away with the crooked bevel hole. You can see it in the pic that Don Rogers sent,,, It works just as good as it is supposed to for being 84 years old .. I know the crooked hole served some purpose??
however in the end it is gone off my door latch,, i'm gonna drive it for a while..

The "extreme lower hang down", as you call it, is the right door locking mechanism. The left front door wouldn't have this attachment.
I have included a cover image of the "Trim" book. I believe that it is reproduced.
