Open a FREE Photobucket account and upload your photos there. Link provided www.photobucket.com. Once you're done there, copy the IMG code & paste that in the text window you want the picture to be displayed.

Or do what Alan said and check the FAQ page of the website.

Upload your pics to the GARAGE part of the Corvette Forum and copy and paste the BB Code in the text box.

The BB Code starts like this... [IMG

Welcome to the forum & congrats on your 74!
You need to use photobucket or some image hosting site to place pics in your thread . here's how:

Go to photobuclet.com and open a free account.
After your done, browse for the pics on your PC, pick & download the files. Once downloaded to photobucket click on and copy the IMG code, mine does this automatically when I move the cursor over the code list below each image, and paste the code in your thread or post. You're done.

Congrats on getting a 74. They're nice cars, true dual exhaust and no cat.

Here's a picture of my 74, 454 I've had for 30 years.
