No progress other than to find out the weldements I bought to bolt the mirrors to are a joke. I should have built them myself like I had originally planned. There is no need to make a mirror bracket that welds to a sheetmetal door out of 3/16 plate ...that's $$$ I can't get back. I just want to barf as I really wanted to have something to show for my time and lack of needed sleep.

 

So... what's going on with photobucket?

 

So you're saying the plate is too thick?

If you think about it, having those giant chevy mirrors sticking out there in 80mph+ wind are going to create a lot of torque on those little plates. I would think they need to be pretty thick. You might could bevel the edges that contact your door so the plate sits more flush with the door skin.

 

In order to host pictures Photobucket wants $400!! Yea right!


Any body know of another?

 

Yeah, wtf is that bs? I had a lot of pictures on there. I hope they realize everyone is just going to move some where else with free 3rd party picture hosting.

I guess if you have a gmail or google account you can use google photos. I might go that route. idk is there anything better?

 

Supposedly you can load it to somewhere on here and post from that. I guess that's what I will do. I'm not sure if I want to replace all the photos on here or not. Makes me so sad. Maybe o e of these days when I have nothing to do I'll do that lol

 

I hear you only need to pay 3 bucks a month to let the pics show unless here is a ton of bandwidth being used

 

For FTE, I just host all of them here. It's super easy, just click the 'Insert Image' button (yellow box with a grey mountain). You can manage your pics from your user CP under 'Networking' > 'Pictures & Albums'.

 

maybe i'll pay 3 bucks for 1 month, and redo all the pics, and cancel the Photobucket account. I didn't know we could use FTE directly. wasn't always that way, was it?

 

It's been that way since I joined... it has its issues too.

 

I conned the wife into running and picking up some metal for me today . I came home to a 18" wide,5' long piece of 1/8" steel. Man can she sure take good care of a fella lol.
i guess we will try again tonight on this mirror project....

 

That deserved a hug!

 

Yes she is very good!

 

There for awhile I couldn't get any pics from a website to post on here. So I just started posting pics directly from my phone. Been awhile since I've done it but it can be done. And on the plus side, it'll always be here. If you delete your pic off photobucket, it'll delete it off FTE too

 

What are you doing with your wings?
