Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I have a '36 5 window coupe and need to replace the passenger glass. I've removed the garnish molding and trim panel but cannot see how to extract the glass. There doesn't seen to be any way to free the glass channel from the sliding arm at the bottom. Help!

If you have one of Dennis Carpenters Ford parts catalog, there was a very excellent description about how to remove and replace door glass. Not sure what year catalog it was, but the pictures and description should be of help.
One suggestion is that you get yourself a set of 'gripper' gloves. Will protect the skin on the hands from becoming home for several bandages.

You can find information on replacing the glass on VanPeltz website. It is mainly for the the models after 1940, but should be of some help to you.

I don't know about the '36, but on my '38 there is a shoulder bolt that is a stop to prevent the regulator arm from moving to the center so they can be removed from the channel. Look for obstructions to the movement of the arm(s) and remove the bolt from the regulator.

Your door is fairly open on the bottom. Put the widow about 2/3 of the way up. Unscrew the regulator and push it inward so the crank mechanism clears the metal panel and lower the entire assembly. Once it is down into the door bottom you can slide the assembly off the track and remove it from the door. Now the glass is at the bottom and you should be able to remove the window and track from the door opening.

trjford8's instructions are simple. but if you want more detail, I attached a couple .pdf files. I've long since forgotten where I found them and who wrote them up.
see my second post for the second half of the instructions.
