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.

On the late 1/2" wide trim they made two types. One style hand rounded bullet end and the other style had pointed ends.

There was also 2 types of 1/2" wide fender moldings. Some had bullet ends and some had pointed ends.

The 1/2" is original for yours.

The 2 piece fenders are the later style and always had the 1/2" wide trim.

The 1/2" wide trim is correct for the late style 41 Mercury. In the 1/2" trim they had two styles. Ones with rounded ends and ones with pointed ends. Since they are stainless steel you can carefully work out the dents/ file and sand as needed/ then polish them out on a buffing wheel. There also companies that will do that for you also.

Wayne,

We are all here to help our fellow members and those who love these cars. It is appreciated that you offer to help, thank you.

Instead of your statement that appears to disparage the Club's 1941 Mercury advisor, have you reached out to him to share your knowledge with him? I'm sure he would appreciate your support.

Ken

If you have any more 41 Mercury questions let me know. I have been researching information on these since 1973 and own a 41 Mercury convertible. I have information that the advisor does not even know about. My email is : squirefd@yahoo.com.

This is important as the later Fords had vertical seams and the Mercuries had longer fenders to cover the longer wheelbase all of which was in the front. The Fords beginning in 1942 then had a painted linen bead that ran over the top from the grille edge back to the end of the triangular apron of the fender. Are the Mercury fender contours more in the sense of the unflaterring term "flat fender" some times used in modern vernacular? I found my memory of those years had contours more like the 41 and even 40 in being rounded at the top. ooopsie! 40 years later. I just went to see the 1941 Mercuries (including one that is clearly a customized 1942 Ford) on a search and can see the 3-piece front fenders with both vertical and horizontal seams. Some of the customs may have the side horizontal seam welded when they lost their trim on that location.
