It is easiest to "host" the pictures off site IE: Photo-Bucket, Face-book or My-space account, or any of the other places where you can host photos. The reason for this is that FTE website has restrictions and parameters that your photo must conform to in order to save space on the server "I don't blame them, storage is expensive". Most free internet photo hosting sites have no such restrictions so you will not have to edit the photos.

Once you have them uploaded to the internet simply view them as if you were anyone else viewing them, then right click on the image and select "Firefox = Copy Image Location" "Internet Explorer = (Properties) then highlight and copy (Address: URL)"

Now when you are here on FTE and want to post a that picture in the forum while you are typing, you will go up top and click on the yellow box with the mountains and sun in it. In the box that pops up you will paste in the image location that you just copied by right clicking. You can right click in the box and select paste or simply hit "Ctrl+V".

Hope this helps

Finally got the engine fired up and broke in, got all the inside wiring, heat and a/c installed, got the dash, steering column and wheel installed, been running all my wiring for the engine. I am about at the point where I am going to start hanging sheet metal. Take a look. Thanks

Start going to salvage yards is your best bet, Also get you a catalog from LMC trucks,Dennis Carpenter, NPD,BOTP,and MAC's. I have all those books and you can get just about anything from them. And here on FTA is someone that usually has or knows where you can get something you may need.

couple new pics added to my resto. book

I have added a couple new pics to my 79 resto. album. I am down to getting the windshield in, the seat and headliner covered and the line x bed liner put in and then its time to enjoy her for a while before adding some goodies to her. Everyone take a look and let me know what you think.
