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!)

Can someone tell me the name of the brown paint color on the lower pivot arms of the front seat backrest. Is it in the 37 book. Thanks Bruce

I didn't even know/realize that the arms were brown, mine are black but I inherited the seat and don't have good history on it. If the color is indeed brown, it could be rustic brown. I did some research on this color awhile ago and found a PPG paint color that very closely matches. There is a thread on the Forum that describes it, lots of dialogue about Rustic Brown.

Mine were also brown and I think it is Autumn Brown:

The closest that I have found is 1972 T-Bird Dark Brown which is readily available:

Shark, like you, I don't use my spray gun very much. For the rustic brown that I needed, the PPG paint shop provided a service to fill a rattle can with your color of choice. I bought a pint and got a couple of spray cans out of it. It wasn't real cheap, maybe $25 a can, but it was enough and convenient for me. I used it to spray things like the steering column and spare tire cover.

Went to Motor Service in town. They are a PPG dealer. Got the closest brown I could. They mixed the paint and put the reducer in. They also set me up with a spray system. Its called Preval. It comes with an aerosol canister and a glass jar. worked out good for the brown on my front seat. I also did the bezels for my dome lights. got a couple runs, so Im going to do them over. I had to add the hardener. I found the spray kit cheaper at Home Depot. If anyone wants the color recipe I can give it to them. Bruce

Hey Bruce,
I am interested in the color recipe you ended up with. I may go back and repaint my brackets. You can PM if you want.
Thanks,
gregg
