Default Engine's Finally In the Frame

Finally, after four months, the frame is basically done with the engine and Tremac 600 installed. Now to get the engine started and broken-in so I can take this stuff back to the shop to get the body remounted, then painted Daytona Blue. The sidepipes are on only for the initial start-up. I hope the pictures come thru this time.







And a picture of my non-NCRS engine pad number:



I hope the pictures came through this time. I'm at work and had to try copying from my MySpace, as I can't access Photo Bucket from work.

I could not view your pics. May have to copy them to photobucket!

Sorry to laugh as I think this is at least your second attempt to post the pics ( I had a lot of trouble getting the hang of it too ) but this is pretty funny.

62Jeff has a simple procedure for posting pics, perhaps he will see this and add that, otherwise check the search function. I had a problem with it too in the beginning.

to post your photos, I took the link you try to used above and went to the site.

right click on the photo and copy that link, paste it into the EXPLORED USER PROMPT (the yellow box above with the mountain on it)

Here is the explanation from 62Jeff. It's the one that got me going. See post #5

Thanks for getting my pics up on the Forum Herb. Only problem is that now everyone knows what my guard dog looks like. I can't use my Photo Bucket while at work, so was trying to use other approaches. I now have the pics in my Forum Photo Album.

Now that the frame's about done, I am very anxious to get it over to the paint shop. Take care.

Those memorypipes look great. Memorypipes, because if someones
calf touches, they will forever remember their down there.

The parts are hiding from me somewhere in the attic and cabinets. It took me about half an hour to find the clutch & pressure plate box Saturday morning - of course it was right at eye-level on a shelf.

Everyone in the family, except me, has a little dark spot on their right calf from those pipes. Hence, the reason why they're not going back on, though I do love their look and the sound they make. They're on just for the break-in.
