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!)

There is also a web site out there with the parts info in pdf format.

I downloaded all these to my computer and phone.

Did not see anyone mention the "GREEN BOOK".

If they did I missed it.

The Green Book is an illustrated parts breakdown for 1928-1948 passenger cars and trucks.

Very helpful book. Not the complete answer but very good reference.

Its full title is "FORD CHASSIS PARTS AND ACCESSORIES CATALOG"

Three more books that are helpful:

Body Parts List - Passenger and Commercial Cars 1935 & 1936

Chasis Parts List - 1928-1937

Automotive Hardware and Trimming Supplies - 1929-1938

For some reason, Ford used odd thread pitches on many, if not most, of their bolts and fasteners. Regardless of how grungy the orginals appear, save them. We never throw any away, and often search our collection for the right ones. As to restoration, even though a car may be a family heirloom, it is a very good idea to try to determine the current market value before setting out. This will aid in deciding how far to go, and how much to spend. There are several reliable price guides that will give you a "ball park" number. Eventually, all vehicles are sold, and recovering just the actual cash invested can be a challenge.

There are tons of reprinted Ford Shop Material and Part Lists books out there. I spent a few hundred already on the related books for my 1937 Fordor.

Get a catalog from the major Ford vendors for an idea of what is out there:

MAC's Antique Auto Parts 800-777-0948
Bob Drake Reproductions 800-221-3673
C & G Early Ford Parts 760-740-2400
Dennis Carpenter Ford Parts 800-476-9653
Joe's Antique Auto 800-508-3980
LeBaron Bonney Company 800-221-5408
Gas Light Auto Parts 800-242-6491

Get as many related catalogs as you can; those catalogs will contain the shop manuals and related Ford materials. Call and most vendors will send you a catalog for free (I think you have to pay for your first big Drake Catalog). These companies also have on-line catalogs.

Good Luck with Grandfather's car.

Hey all.....I just started restoring my great grandfathers 1936 Ford that he purchased off the showroom floor in 1936. I've got many questions so I'll ask them as I need help with my project. First off....is there a shop manual or parts list book that you would recommend? The car was garaged in a barn for over thirty years in Nebraska and was in pieces when I picked it up. I'm not sure what parts I exactly need to buy as I want to make the car as ORIGINAL/STOCK as I can. One Issue I ran into was finding the screws that mount the dashboard to the window frame and the two bolts that attach the steering drop down to the dashboard. Every parts warehouse I've called doesn't carry them......any help please????
