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:

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!)

Hey John.......his name is Mark Kicsak....97 Houdlum Hill Rd...Binghamton, NY......I spoke with him yesterday and he did have the fender trim I needed (which I bought)......he's been at it a while... was fun to talk to......(Joe from Joe's Antique Auto Parts referred me to him - that place is great to deal with and seems to have really good prices on most things - and a GREAT catalog !).....and I did find a hood emblem on C & G Ford Parts...said they had just sold their last one and they are on order from their supplier and figure it will be a few weeks before they get them......I placed my order with them and hope they are right about that....they are kinda pricey but they are so hard to come by that I can live with that.
Thanks for the reply !
John

The hood emblem - a diecast piece. It has appeared from time to time on E-bay. It is unique to the 42 and there are two. One with an 8 on it and one with a six on it.

The stainless steel trim piece has never been reproduced to my knowledge. Best bet would advertise in a wanted add and see if anyone has an extra in storage.

3 or 4 years ago, I did a stupid thing getting my 46 out of my shop and scr*ped the rear fender on fence. Side molding (same as a 42) was beyond fixing so I found a guy who had lot's of ss trim. I can not remember his name but he was from western NY and lived on a road that stuck with me. Hoodlum hill road . Maybe someone will remember?

I don't know of anyone reproducing the pieces that you are looking for. You should post a parts wanted ad in the Classified section of this Forum, the Ford Barn and the AACA Forum. You should also look at Hemmings and contact vendors that advertise every month like Mike Dennis and Lowell Kimble.

Ownster is a search engine that checks E-Bay and Craigs list across the country. You can do a daily search there for 1942 Ford parts and hope that something turns up.
