Enjoy it.

You did some of the same changes I just did (rims and bumper). Got any pics to post up?

So much for that attempt. Guess I'd better read the tutorial again on how to do this.

Do you have them hosted on a site like www.photobucket.com

You can set up an acct with photobucket, go to that site to pull the jpeg from your computer, then you have a link you can post here.

Like this...

[IMG]your photo bucket link pasted in between the img's [/IMG]

Or use the yellow icon just above the area for posting, on the right side, and paste your photobucket link in there.

I have them on my "MobileMe" Mac account where I have the gallery.

The site is http://gallery.me.com/r.graw

Was just reading the tutorial to see about sites other than photobucket.

Yep, I can see them in the album but you need a "live http link" to post them here. Like this;

http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/t...146/Forum1.jpg

This was one of yours I right-click saved as from your album, put into my computer, then uploaded to my photobucket.com account.

If your current hosting site does not have a way to get a "direct link" then switch to photobucket, it's free and easy.

Ok, so here is that same link in between the [img]'s. Quote this post and just look at the layout.

Looks like you have the Corsa tiger shark tips too. Love your azz, here is another view of mine.

Here is what it looked like just a few months ago.

COOL, MY VETTE IN PICTURES!!!

Thanks NorCalVette Kid and Doug. I'll have to work on the pics deal more.

Hey Mr. Bill. Next to my Vette, I love my MAC.

I really like the look of the Tiger Shark tips. I like your pic also.
