Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.

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!)

hi
you could try EASTWOOD'S stripeing paint, they have many reds to chose from.
on my 37 ,I used a bright red, [ has a tan body color]this is the closest you are going to get, no body know, what the EXACT color is, so you will most likley loose no points,
any sign man that stripes cars will have a very close
match,or one you will like, this is most important that you are happy that looks good,,
no body can tell you its wrong,because they do not know.
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN

Eastwood sells OneShot sign painters enamel,any good striper or sign painter has about every color they make. I think a lot of the reds are to orange and we played around mixing them to get a red I liked this is on a black 37 coupe with a red stripe and wheels not correct anyway for Dearborn but it sure looked good to me in 1961 and this one in 2008.

Thanks for all the input. After consulting with the preveous owner, who had repainted the wheels vermilian red, stated that when he aquried the car the paint on the wheels apeared to be original and looked like a purply/plum color, later to discover it would have possibly been the pomegranite red. He and I picked out a color based on his recolection. Since no one seems to know maybe its the best we can do. The new color looks great,really warms the car up.

Thanks again
