Picture Tip....
I thought this might be a decent tip, maybe not, but here it goes. Whenever you take on a project where you don't know what goes where, something you're not really familiar with...sometimes i like to take detailed pictures of the parts as i go through the project, that way, if i mess something up, i can refer to the pictures to see which way or how a part was put into its place before i took it apart. Might be helpful, it is when taking an engine out.

In a pinch, those illuminated magnifing lenses are helpful as well for getting close in to many shots. While this is easier with a digital camera, this can even work with a fixed focus camera, provided that you take a set of pitures at mesured distances and judge which one is the best. This is most helpful when your camera has no macro setting.
I'm still a touch old fassioned in regards to photography my self, holding out untill the 7.2mega pixel range (or 300dpi @ 8x10inch).

I use a Poloroid digital camera and it works well for me.
The only problem is the flash sometimes lightens too much or the picture is too dark without it. I like to take a small piece of electrical tape and place it half over the flash bulb in order to diffuse the light for those close up shots.

Photo's are the only way to go. I've been taking pictures of our project truck from day one and can't tell you how many times in the putting back together stage Steve's referred back to the photo's see where/how things originally went or to look for that small part that we thought came with the truck but can't seem to find since we don't remember what it really looked like.
I've also been able to help others out by e-mailing photos to people that got their projects in peices. It'll be a nice album to take to the truck shows once we're done with the truck.
