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!)

That's awesome owning an early Ford V-8 1938 Ford fordor sedan in Russia. Is this a left hand drive car. Do you know in which country it was built?
I would suggest checking with some of these American based suppliers on their catalog websites... Bob Drske, Dennis Carpenter, Dick Spadaro, Early Ford V-8, Job lot, Joes Antique car parts.
You could also put a parts wanted post here and on WWW.Fordbarn.com and subscribe to Hemmings Motor News. Good luck and keep up post on your progress.

Driver, welcome to our Forum! Look at the list of suppliers in the link below for the common items such as headlight bulbs and hood V8. The hood trim strips are not available anywhere. Other hard to find items can sometimes be found at these suppliers also. Good luck and happy V8ing!

Many Fords of the twenties and thirties were produced overseas using dies and other Ford tooling. Henry was looking for a place to sell these, rather than scr*p them. Whole factories were exported, including to Russia. According to accounts, in many cases, payment was never received for some of these.

From the list of parts suppliers.... I would start with C&G Parts in California, then move on to Macs Antique Auto Parts in Detroit, then to Bob Drake in California.

Chief, I'm sorry, but you won't find Macs on that list. It never was and never will be on that list.

Alan

Edit: I should explain... That list is composed of suppliers that have been recommended, and is not all inclusive of every possible source. Only those deemed worthy will be listed, and there is no gaurantee for any on the list that they will remain so.

@ford38v8,

"you won't find MAC'S on that list. It never was and never will be on that list." - WOW! Kinda harsh, don't cha think??? I recommend MAC'S as I have never had a problem with them or the parts they supply for over 25 years now. Plus, I don't have to pay them California's extortion taxes. I'm just happy MAC'S is in business for US. "Only those deemed worthy"??? WTF?!!! How does one gain this 'Special Dispensation' to get on that sacred list??? 'BlackBalling' of a vendor should be beneath this Club's dignity. Knowing this, I'll do my best to avoid those vendors that are on that list!......MG

BTW, Alan - Are you speaking on behalf of the EFV8 Club???

We don't buy from Mac's because too many of their parts have been inferior. As an example, we went thru five sets of points to find one set that wasn't defective. Our best experience is with C&G, Carpenter, and Drake. That said, the most important consideration for the poster is to find any supplier that can arrange overseas shipping and acceptable method of payment. My friend Alan and I have been around for a very long time. We don't "blackball" any sources, but try to recommend those that have good quality and price. If your experience is different, it would suffice to simply say so.
