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.

I've checked all the craigs lists on the west coast and have seen all the cars listed. Also checked out the one in Portland and the one on the classified. I'm getting ready to make a run next week to look at cars in mid America. I'll be taking an empty trailer from Utah to at least St Louis. If nothing pans out there I will head to the NW on my way home to Alaska. Be glad to help a Ford guy relay a car or parts.

Sounds like he wants a tudor sedan. There's a nice deluxe tudor on this website;www.memorylaneclassiccars.com in Portland, Oregon; This one is an early style hotrod with a warmed up "flattie" etc. I would also suggest that he look at "Craigslist" in the west coast cities.
Check the Los Angeles Craigslist and type in 1940 in the car section. There's a real nice maroon tudor on there now.

I got it from an old Cheech and Chong song about a "Basketball Jones" now used to describe an intense craving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_Jones_featuring_Tyrone_Shoelaces

Glad to see the title got someone to look at it, now all I need is some leads on cars.

He's "Jonesin'", i.e, craving, a '40 Ford.

Per the Urban Dictionary, it was originally used to describe an intense craving for a drug, and comes from Great Jones Street in New York City, between Broadway and Lafayette Street, a former junkie hangout.

It may be a common expression where you are from but I am lost. What is a 40 Jones?

I have a 40 Ford Jones. I'm an old man and working on my bucket list which includes a 40 tudor. I had a couple of Moredoor sedans back in the fifties but my favorite was a tudor. I'm getting ready to start a tour around the western half of the US looking for a suitable car. I hate to mention that I would consider a hot rod but it would have to have the column shift and a manual transmission. I would like some feedback on the various sites that would be a good place to look for the car of my dreams. I browse through the HAMB and the Fordbarn but no cigar at present. I've also looked at Autotrader and evilBay. I would consider a project if it hasnt been hacked up. Please email klawockvet@xprides.com Thanks, Dave
