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!)

Good Morning, Tom--

Thanks for the info.

I've never met Gary, but I know the amount of work that he put into finishing the book must have been incredible.

Thanks also to the Specialist Committee for doing the 37 book in the first place.

Tom

Gary Mallast put the book in final form to go to the printer. He cleaned up all the errors and added some very important information that was not in the original work. Without him taking over the project that book would still be somewhere on somebody's desk collecting dust.

For clarification purposes, the 1938-1939 Ford Book was authored by Gary Mallest, and the 1937 Ford Book was compiled by a committee of 1937 specialists, of which Gary Mallest was one of them.

Tom, Gary Mallast did the '37 book. It is very detailed.

Mike--

The 1937 Book is available, in BOTH hard-and soft cover (soft cover is less expensive).

As Tom suggested, check the "Online Store" link, in the dark blue portion of this screen, then check "Books".

I haven't seen the 1937 Book. But if it's as good as Mike Kubarth's '40 Book, it's a "must-have".

Good luck on your project.

Tom

Also check with Drake as they may have the welting with the pre cut slots to clear the fender bolts. You can purchase the 1937 book on this website and well worth the money if you are building a '37. Check the "On Line Store" in the left menu of the site.

Mike,
The book is published by the Early Ford V-8 Club. It has lots of very useful information and wasn't too pricey as I recall.

FYI, I used the black welting from Joe's Antique Auto company.

Gregg, thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with the '1937 book'. Mike

Hi Mike,
Per "The 1937 Ford Book":

page 2-4
A strip of 3/16-inch black beaded Pyroxylin anti-squeak welt was attached to the inside edge of each fender with drive nails after the fenders were painted. Hence, regardless of what color the car was painted, the black welting was readily visible. This welting extended from the grill to each running board, but did not continue between the fender and the running board.

page 2-12:
Running boards had a closed-cell black foam rubber block, 78-16464 glued at the front to serve as a filler between the fender and the frame. It was one-inch by one-inch by seven inches.

I finished painting my front fenders and hood. I'm beginning to re install them. My question is where does the fender welting go?

There were only some small remains when I took it apart. There was welting between the grill and fender; the fender and firewall. Should there be welting between the fender and running board? Thans Mike
