Hi from a newbie

My name is Glenn from Copperas Cove, Tx. I've noticed a lot of good advice given on this forum so I decided to join the fun. I have a 12 year old grandson with whom decided to build a 56 F100. With only a few years before he is able to drive, we determined that we better get going. Glad to be on board.

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see another Texas member.
FYI there may be parts for your truck in Briggs at Harolds just remember to get a price before you pull it or he will screw you over.

Welcome! Sound like a great way to spend quality time with a g-son. The life skills in mechanics, problem solving, and connecting with the past will serve him well.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the warm welcomes and help on uploading photos. I have made an account with Photobucket. I'm not what one would call an expert on computing and the internet. My friend is trying to walk me through this along with your tips, so please bare with me. I am applying the link to my photo album. It's a work in progress and I'll try to upload my photos and descriptions later. Thanks again.
