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!)

One minor addition to the above is that you need to push the bulb in before turning it counter-clockwise to remove it.

bgjgrgdg, do you need to remove the headlight ring? If this is the problem remove the screw first. There are two smaller catches 90degs left and right of the screw holding the ring in place. Lightly pry the ring free and then lift the ring from the bottom as pauls39coupe described. I used a small plastic screwdriver to pry the ring. This all assumes the '39 hightlight rin is the same as my '38.

Remove the bottom screw from the bezel, then lift straight up to remove the bezel from the clip on the top. Hold on to the glass so it does not fall out. Sometimes the glass will stick to the cork gasket, and will have to be pulled off.
The bulb will then be exposed, just twist it CCW to remove it.

Just acquired my 1939 Deluxe Tudor. I need to get into the headlight bulbs. How do I remove the bezel or bucket? Bottom screw doesn't free up anything. I am many miles from the nearest RG. I was a member of Charlotte NC back in 2000. This is my third flathead and need some tech help. The disease just keeps coming back ! Thanks. Regards, BOB
