Hey, I'm new to this forum. I have a 73 Vette thats been in the family for awhile and its time to start working on it. The new gas tank went on last night and side pipes are going on this weekend. It has a fresh coat of paint and still needs the trim pieces and some emblems mounted. Its stock besides stainless brake lines and paint. Here are a few pics:

Nice looking Vette! Do you all mind answering an obvious newbie question, I can't post any pics, how can I put them in there? I don't see the browse button anywhere to put them in. Do you have to be a supporting member to do so? I don't mind paying...
