Thought I would say Hello! I 've always wanted a convertible vette. I finally took the plunge on 10/00 and have been very happy with the purchase. It's not my daily driver but I'll take it out 3-4 times a week, weather permitting. The car has a 350ci, unknown cam, stock heads, headers, a Carter Q-jet, Edelbrock performer intake (which causes the air cleaner to hit the hood, any suggestions would help), an undercarriage chambered exhaust system (very cool in town, deafening on the freeway), everything else is stock.

I went to the "Help & Feedback" forum and dug around until I found the answer. It would take awhile to list all the steps but basically you need to upload your photos to a server on the internet and then put the address of the location of the particular photo in your "signature". I used this websites offer of free "homepages" to get access to the upload software and a file manager to set up folders for different pics that I "uploaded" from my hardrive to Corvette Forum's server. It was a little confusing at first but it all makes sense after using it a little bit. I'm working on my "homepage" but darn...HTML code takes a little while to figure out to get the "look" you want. :boxing
