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!)

I need some advise in replacing my new door glass. Do you screw in the regulator first, and then some how drop the window in, or do you somehow fix the window guides and reg rollers together first and then position the two? What roller goes in first, the front or back? Maybe knowing the correct sequence would help. The inner door is quite beat up, cut and welded up before. It looks like someone else had the same problem and just cut and patched it after it was together. Thanks for any tips, I need them. Cheers, Gary

Gary, let us know the year of the vehicle and the body style. Different years and body styles require different methods of installation.

Gary, I have a detailed write up on how to replace '35/'36 door window glass. This was sent to me by a member of another forum so I don't feel like I can pass it on to someone else without conferring with him first. If you are interested in getting a copy, send me your email address and I will check with him to see if it is okay to send you a copy.

Delete duplicate post.
Don't understand why this website always puts a duplicate post whenever I hit return on the key pad??

Be sure that the regulator is, in fact, correct for the car. When we see a door that has been butchered, it was often done to mount a regulator from another model. I found that out when I restored my '47 convertible. That correct regulator is different from the closed cars, and very hard to find. It took me months to track one dowm, and then we had to rebuild it. My catalogs skip 35 and 36, so they may be hard to find, as well, and may explain finding the patching. You can compare the one on the other side to see if they match. It will be a mirror image.

Gary and Dan, I sent an email to the guy who sent me those instructions. He has not responded back to me. If I don't get a response by the end of the day tomorrow, I will email this information to you tomorrow night or Friday morning.

Update...Info has just been sent by email to both of you. Good luck!!
