Been a busy summer already...but this winter will be a Florida winter.....12 months of summer....LOL
Been busy on my trucks and wife has been busy building sidewalks etc out of brick. My bolt guy stopped in today and he is building a 53.....small world!!
August is painting month at my house.....and soon as I get started someone appears. Also using my new sandblast cabinet ...set it up outside and it is big enough to blast a whole grille. Saves alot of work with the pressure blaster.
I must get the Avanti out for the car show saturday.....it hasn't been driven since memorial day ..........hot August nights in Reno......we are going and it is always awesome.......unless something comes up!!! KEEP ON TRUCKIN BOYS!!

Yesterday I had the red big window out to the local show. Parked by Truckrod (I think he took some pics of our trucks) It was a great day, nice to drive the red truck again. I forgot just how nice it really is. I was used to looking at my rat rod LOL

After the show me and my son went for a cruise, put about 20 miles on it, drove it in the corner of the shop and covered it back up, Summer is over for the big window!

Very Big Car show...

Hi Folks,

Down here in Marietta on the river we have an annual event called the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival. Part of the fun is the big car show. I belong to the club that puts this show on every year. Last year we had 400 cars and trucks. This year they are expecting over 500 and maybe as many as six hundred. It is one of the largest car shows around. We are also giving a car away. So, bring your ride and join in on the fun. CLICK HERE to see a PDF file of the flyer for the show. The show is on Sunday the 12th of September. CLICK HERE to read about the festival. It's all free including the car show. So pack up and come on down.

If you want to know more just ask here or use the PM and/or e-mail feature.

Later Folks...

PS I almost forgot this. At this late date lodging is impossible to find as people are already booking for next year. Cambridge, Athens, Zanesville and maybe Caldwell are as close as you are going to get unless there are some B&Bs still available. Could also be some campgrounds. However, the car show is a one day thing and drivable for most of the state.

To upload a picture for viewing on forum is pretty much the same for most forums, there are several way to do this, one of which if your are supporter on FTE , you can upload your pictures here on this site.

Go your UserCP link (top right corner) Click there
Then on the right side go to Settings & Options then click edit Gallery, then look for where it says
Create Album
This is the first step. Create an album and then add photos to it. You can create more than one album. this will automatically resize your photo when you upload them... make sure you mark them private if they are not truck related after you have uploaded them then look for the [Forum Codes - For displaying image in forum posts] here is a screen shot of the page



**Browse is the term used for where the picture is located on your computer***

Here is some off site place you can save your pictures for use to upload on forums, myspace etc etc..

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
