Default A big thanks!!!!

Well this has been long over due..I purcased a wrecked 75 nearly 2 years ago,and with the EXPERTISE and detailed/simple instructions from forum members(including old posts) i have managed to save the car from a salvage yard and turn it into a fairly nice driver,Without all your help it would still be a pile of parts ,more suited for the crusher than inside my garage and for that i,m very greatful...i have attempted(too many times to count)to post my progress and give thanks ,however i can,t seem to post pics...i have posted a few in my profile however it isn,t as thorough as i would like,i can,t post any of the frame and birdcage pics as they won,t load due to pixel count!! I also tried to upload my chassis dyno run..it,s on photobucket but i can,t get it on here either.....i would love to be able to post all of these images to share it with the members it was your wisdom that built this car..i was just the fool turning the wrenches!! Thanks again i truly love this car,and have enjoyed the entire experience!!!!!!

Hi S496,
It would be great to see your pictures. If you have a Photobucket account it's VERY easy to copy the link from the individual pictures to the body of your post, and we'll all see them without going to Photobucket. Check out FAQ at the top of this page.
Regards,
Alan

Ca legal, this was the way the car looked when the first person decided to fix it....whaen i got the car it already had a new frame that was 75% completed,however it needed a firewall and front end not to mention having everything wired body being put back on etc.etc,etc,However i nnew the frame was excellent and so was the Birdcage so i figured why not?
