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:

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!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

A good source of fasteners and materials is LeBaron-Bonney. Their web site is www.lebaronbonney.com. e-mail: lbb-hc@greennet.net You didn't mention the model type of your car. There are lots of '34 experts out there, and that info will help them.

Your serial number indicates an early car, about 15000 out of 776878. The door handle change was made very early in the model year and most 1934 cars had the door handle in the center.

You can purchase the body to frame webbing from Dennis Carpenter and Roy Nacewicz may have your bolts. Roy may also have the webbing.

LeBaron Bonney should be able to supply the tack strip for the roof.

I would recommend that you buy the V-8 Club's 1933-1934 book. It can be purchased at the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum tiffany@fordv8foundation.org

or on the home page of this site.

after due consideration..i have decided to express my
opinion concerning the 33/34 ford book (restoration).
You not the only mamber of the v-8 club that has touted this book...its must have, etc,..etc,....
I BEG ALL OF NOT TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK..iT DOES NOT SHOW YOU HANDFUL STUFF AND YOU CAN EVEN USE TO RESTORE ANYTHING...WHAT WE NEED IS HOW TOS::::I.E., HOW INSTALL THE ROOF *START TO FINSH*;
hOW TO YNSTALL THE FRONT FENDERS GRILL, RAD...

ALL THE BOOK HAS IS A BUNCH OF NICE THINGS TO SEE..
ITS A SHAME TO SPEND 65.00 ON NOTHING...

SORRY TO PUT TO YOU LIKE THAT, BUT GET A LITTLE UPSET
WHEN PEOPLE ARE TOUTING A BOOK THAT IS NOT A RESTORATION BOOK...RICHARD

Don't get me wrong.....
I own, review and like the book tons....
I find it very helpful in showing what it likely should look like...
It's just limited when it comes to hands on stuff.

33334capn & savvy, None of the club's books are intended to educate the would-be restorer on methods and techniques. These skills are best learned first hand at Community Colleges or at Regional Group tech shops if your group has one. Ask at a meeting, others have been there, done that, and would be glad to help or instruct.

What our books do extremely well is to inform the reader on matters of what his car was like when it left the assembly line back in the day. What was the exact material, texture, and color of top material, what was the finish on the bolts used to hold the grille in place? The air cleaner had which decal where? Which manifold is correct for my car? Top irons painted or plated? All these questions and hundreds more are answered in captioned pictures and paragraphs of text. Years of research on original cars and in Ford archives, dedicated V8ers contributing their time, experience, and knowledge to insure that restorers have the right answers to the way it was.

I'm sorry you consider our books "nothing". If you want "nice things to see", go to a neighborhood car show. If you want to see a correctly restored Ford, go to an EFV8CA Meet Concourse. Those are the guys who read our books.

Thanks Alan for defending my suggestion. I will continue to advise people to buy the Club's books, because they are the best reference to a correct restoration.

There are many 'how to' books on the market, but IMHO most of them are not worth the price as they are too general to be of much help. The best 'how to' advice comes from the different forums and other Club members.
