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!)

Rob send me a private message (click on the words "send pm") in the upper right hand corner of my message. I can put you in touch with one of our club members who has a nice old original 37 sedan. He lives just north of Santa Rosa ,Ca.

Hey MG,

I totally understand your hesitations, and I'm happy to tell you more about myself and the company.

I'm a story producer at Hoff Productions -- here's a link to our website:

http://www.mhptv.com/

We're located in Emeryville, CA, but also have offices in Los Angeles and Washington DC. We produce content for non-fiction TV networks, and most often work with National Geographic, Discovery, Science, and the History Channel. We have two shows currently airing -- 'What Could Possibly Go Wrong?' and 'Animals Gone Wild'. You can see some of our past work here:

Please let me know how else I can help. I'm limited in what I can say about our current project due to legal reasons, but I'm happy to discuss anything else that you'd like clarified.

All the best,
Rob

A little more information about yourself please. What is the name of the production company you are affiliated with? Do you or the company have a website? Where in the Bay Area are you located? There are an untold wealth of car clubs in the Bay Area you could solicit for cars. I know of several '37 Sedans in the Bay Area that would meet your needs but I hesitate to give out that information on this forum or to your personal email address given the lack of knowledge about you and your company. What are your Credentials, please?

Hello everyone,

My name is Rob English. I’m new to the forums, and I wanted to introduce myself and ask for help. I’m a story producer for a production company in the Bay Area, California. I’m reaching out in hopes of finding a ’37 Ford Sedan (or similar model) for one of our shows.

We’re filming a TV show about the real-life people who inspired characters from famous horror films. These people drove cars iconic to their time. For instance, Ed Gein – the inspiration for Psycho – drove a ’37 Ford Sedan. We’d like to stay as true to the story as possible, but we’re having difficulty locating cars, and I figured this forum would be a good place to ask.

We need a ’37 Ford Sedan (or similar model) for a few scenes (1-2 days) in the next month or so. The car won’t be used for any stunts. For almost all shots, it will be part of a background shot, and parked. There’s one scene where we might to show the car driving down a road, but that’s it. Nothing fancy.

If any of you live near the Bay Area, would you be interested in working with us? We’re open to discussing terms, insurance policies, and any questions you might have. You can absolutely stay on-set to supervise. You’ll have your name in the credits, and your car will be showcased on TV.

Please let me know if this interests anyone. You can email me at renglish@hoff.tv.

Thank you for your time.

-Rob
