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!)

37Ragtopman, Maine

maybe the 36 rear seat spring can be used with a little work to them
there can not be a lot of difference,
I would get a 36 and a 37 parts book and do a part list number, compare,them

ragtopman makes a good suggestion about getting a 37 parts book. Some of the parts you are looking for may fit other 37 body styles. The parts book will tell you by the part number. You can get the book from various V-8 parts vendors.

Hi Robert37:
The trunk hinges for the 37 Phaeton (78-750) were common to the convertible sedan (78-740). They were common to the 38 Phaeton and 38 convertible sedan. They were not common to any other 37 models or other year cars. The part numbers are as follows:
78-748150, right hand hinge on lid
78-748151, left hand hinge on lid

If you cannot find these parts anywhere, but you do have old broken parts, a solution would be to have the parts scanned and then 3-D printed. You would also then have to have them tapped, polished, and chrome plated. The pin attaching the two halves of the hinges is probably common to all other trunk hinges and can be found. A company that can scan and 3-D print the parts is HV3DWorks.

The cup washer, 78-706865, was common to many models in 37 and 38, and hence I would expect you can find some.

I have hinges and cup washers as well as many other '37 parts. If you don't find a header, I may still have a pattern if you can find someone to make it. Contact me at v8fordman@hotmail.com. I have both a phaeton and convertible sedan.
