Just ready to start all the little detail work on my car. The engine and chassis are done, the body is painted and bolted down finger tight. Just wanted to introduce myself. Also, I am new to the computer so beware.

Here this link will take you to a paper on posting images. It should make it very easy.

One thing that is important is using multiple tabs in your internet browser so you can have the forum open and Photobucket.com. Also, do you have a way to resize the images so they won't be so huge or so small they are hard to view?

Whoa! Multiple tabs on my browser? what's that? Oh well, scheduled to take class at com. college on using ebay, hopefully they'll teach me how. Tried to go on the site you posted, but it wouldn't let me in. Thanks though for effort.

try going to http://photobucket.com/ and create a free picture sharing account to upload your photos. or if you know how to email them to another member, maybe another forum member will/can post the pictures for you so we can see.

Hi Mick,
I looked at the Restoration area but don't see your post and pictures. Don't give up... people love to see pictures of what others are doing. I'm a completely dumb computer person and with DB's information and some answers from other members even I learned how to do it. You can too!!!!
Regards,
Alan
