Default Im a newbie!! how do i post pics?

So, after 6 long years, my father and I have finally completed our car, its a 1970 convertible, brought back to its original beauty. When the car was purchased, it was an absolute piece of crap. We ended up replacing the frame, had the tranny rebuilt, new front and rear suspension. The original engine was blown, and the car had a replacement motor in it, though the guy was nice enough to hook us up the the original block and heads that had been sitting outside for the past 10 years while the car sat next to it. We had the block checked, machined, and rebuilt by a very reputable race engine builder known as Billy the Kid out of Torrington CT. He did an unbelievable job, this thing screams. As we dug further into the car, things got even worse, the frame rails were rotted out, and worst of all, the entire dash and door panels were spray painted black to mask the original green. Since we had already gone so far with the car, we decided to just replace it all. What we ended up with after 6 years and a sum of money neither me or my father want to add up, is one beautiful car. Every nut, bolt, and piece of this car has either been refurbished or replaced. Entirely new interior including the WHOLE dash, new engine harness, dash harness, and rear harness... it goes on and on. This is basically a brand new car. And the best part of it all, I was only 15 when we bought the car. Im now 21 and driving one of the nicest Vette's ive seen around these parts. Now if someone could instruct me on how to post pictures, Id love to show you guys what this rig looks like.

sounds terrific.

to post images, you

1> first must have the image hosted somewhere on the web. this can be either your own website or an image hosting site.
2> once the image exists somewhere in cyberspace, you then copy the url of the image between the _{img} and _{/img}_ tags - (keeping in mind that you must replace the { with [ and the } with ].
3>if you click the "Image" button below the post window the tags are added and all you have to do is paste the url of the pictures location between them.

Voila! you have posted an image.
