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:

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!)

I'm looking for someone to rebuild a 1951 Ford 3-speed transmission with Manual Over-drive. I have the transmission out of the car. I'm located in SC, would like someone in-state.

I know that you were looking for someone in SC, but here is a link to a trusted source in Ohio.

There are 2 Regional Groups in South Carolina and you could contact them for a recommendation. Just click on the Regional Directory on the left side of this page for contact information.

Hi Jules....I also have a '51 coupe that has a three speed with overdrive. I'm wondering what symptoms caused you to believe that the transmission needs to be rebuilt? I've only had mine for a year, know none of it's past history, but the trans and OD seem to work fine for me. If anything, mine needs a clutch. BT

2 reasons; First: I have it out while I'm restoring the car and having the engine rebuilt. Second; it jumps out of second gear at times and it's also original, never been rebuilt. I've had the car for ever, my grandfather bought it new in 51. I've contracted VanPelts in OH, leaning towards them to do the rebuild. The overdive makes it moere difficult to find someone to work on it.

Just a follow-up to the trans rebuild; VanPelts did my rebuild; excellent job and does a great job job on following up on your questions.

Thanks

Glad that you are satisfied with Mac's work and that you posted the results so others will have more confidence in sending their work to him.
