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!)

Well I just figured i'd post some pics and info about my car if anyone is interested. For starters the car is a '39 Tudor De Luxe. It was purchased new by my Great Great Uncle and spent some time in West Virginia and Tennessee being used to run moonshine of all things. Then it sat around for a while before my Grandfather started to restore it back when I was 8. Now i'm 26 and the car is mine, well that's enough here come some pics

Exterior:

You're a lucky young man Lance - That's one h*ll of a sweet ride. How old is the restoration? It's nice to have some young blood on here. Good luck to you Lance.

Yeah the car really is great and my Grandfather is pretty awesome for giving it to me. He took possession of the car 17 years ago and began the restoration. So the finished restoration is maybe 15 years old.

Thanks for the kind words I appreciate it.

Lance, great car.I notice it has 39 California plates on it. Are you in California? it's great to know that we have some young people interested in the V-8 Ford flathead. We need young people to carry the torch.

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Trjford, yeah it has 39 California worlds fair plates on it. My Grandfather lives in Ca and he found those plates a while ago in an antique shop. The car is now in Iowa with me though and I just haven't gotten around to registering it here because I like those plates so much!

I like the art-deco heater. It's too bad Ford didn't use one like it in 39.

It is a very nice car and I hope that you will bring it to a National Meet so we can all enjoy it in person.
