Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

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,
Anyone know where I can get the running board braces for a 37 car? These braces are riveted to the frame and are often rusted to pieces (like mine). There are two per side.
Thanks,
gregg

HI 37
I think the braces are part of the running boards,
I had a 1937 pickup and I can not remember seeing brackets on the frame. ?
you might need running boards, with brackets, they should be welded on,
I know my CABRIOLET has brackets on the boards, not removable,
hope this helps 37 Ragtopman

Thanks for the reply 37.
The running boards do have "built in" braces. In addition, the frame has some braces (or maybe they are called brackets or ??). Attached are a couple of pics. It's a little hard to make out, but you can see the braces towards the front are rusted away. The braces towards the rear are in decent shape.

You are talking about body mount brackets that are riveted to the frame.
I do not believe that those are being reproduced --

hi 37 sedan delivery
I would seriously be looking for a 37 38 frame, by what I am looking at in the photo's
or you need to a metal fabrication shop, to make pieces for you to bring the frame back to safety standards,
and be a real good welder, and measure everything 2 times so the frame is straight
the replacement frame route is the easier to do,
advertise for one here on the classified section,
or go to swap meets Like HERSHEY in the fall,
good luck with the project, it will be worth it in the END,
you building it STOCK ?
my 2 cents 37Ragtopman

Thanks 37.
Yeah, the frame is also in very poor shape. I will be on the lookout for a better one, hopefully somewhere close.
My plan is to go bone stock. It is hard to find parts for a sedan delivery.

You definitely need another frame. The sedan delivery uses the same frame as a passenger car. Nor sure of your location, but start checking Craigslist and check with other V-8ers in your area.

How about Hidden Valley -- just up the road. Been there years ago.
Lots of interesting stuff.
We stopped on the way from hot Phoenix to hotter Tucson.
But in February I would trade the view of the Saquaro National Park to what I see out my window.

Thanks, good call.
I have driven by there many times, but never stopped. I will give them a try.
