Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

c-gor,

Thank you for your response, great information. I need to look further into KY and OH law. These are the two states I typically travel in.

krwilson5,

Thank you for providing your input. I procured a copy of the club's 35/36 book upon my summer purchase of the car. What a great reference it has been for restoration thus far. I have seen few standards with respect to all pre-war Ford V8 years. I am looking forward to taking this car back to it's stock configuration. The "second" tail-light was installed in a sloppy manner. If I were to re-do, body work to the fender would ensue prior to mounting the lamp arm.

Thanks,

Jon Ketron

Mr Rogers,

Thank you for sharing this info. I may see about installing a similar set up on this car once completed.

camsaure,

Thank you for your response. I will re-evaluate my position on the sun visors, you bring up some great points to consider.

For what it is worth. I had a 1940 Ford Standard that was purchased and registered in Ohio.

Ohio law stated, at that time, that a vehicle requires one stop/tail light with a reflector.

I drove my car for over 50 years with the one tail light that was compulsory by Ohio law.

Turn signals were required on all new cars purchased beginning 1/1953. Earlier years were "grandfathered" in.

Hi Jon. it looks like you have scored a very nice 1936 tudor touring sedan and from your description it appears to be a standard with an extra taillight and sun visor, very cool! My wife also has a standard touring sedan we call Rosemary. We have enjoyed Rosemary for nearly twenty-five years driving her to many national meets and displaying her in the Rouge class. We added the second taillight very early on in addition to seat belts for safety sake and we don't feel that we have compromised the car in doing so. I don't remember what the point deduction is for the additional light, if any, but doubt that it would kill the car if the restoration is well executed.

It is you car so you can restore it either deluxe or standard and it will be beautiful. Personally I would reinstall the second taillight properly either way. We like the fact that the our car is a standard partially because they are less common at the national meets and because that's the way it came from the factory and who knows just maybe the dealer installed that optional light.

There is lots to know about these things, running changes and the like. For instance significant changes to the interior were made around May of 36. If you don't already have it, you really should get a copy of the 1935-36 Early Ford V8 book. Like all the clubs published works is excellent.

I attended a drive-in car show last year. A 30's something car installed turn signals by threading wiring from column to trunk area and attaching mag tized red lights when he would drive the car. No drilled holes, just snuck the wires thru the side trunk lid.

PLEASE think twice about removing that tail light ! I have come close to being "rear ended" twice with my 52 Ford and the tail lights are at the top of the fender; work well & bright. Folks 2day can't drive without their #$)^^$@ PHONE.
Dealer installed items are O K ..........
