Easiest way is to go to photobucket.com and open an account(it is free). Load your photos on to there. When you want to post a picture here, find your photo, right click and copy as img. and paste here. If you want to do it without that, go to the Problems section on the main forum. There is a thread in there on posting pics. Hope this helps.

more work

once i got started i didnt want to stop, put the wood in the box, leftover fence boards, they worked perfect, found a gas tank, it was the neighbors lawn roller, should work just fine and a battery box i found on the side of the road, its an old steel vacuum, battery fits great in it with room to spare for some tools, bonus...also mounted the horn and door handles, cant wait for spring...there is also a picture of my little helper, she is in charge of the vise, but she keeps on tryin to put my finger in it..lol

[Gastrick]

Coming along nicely P-Rat. You really have to watch the help these days. lol.

 

[Lakota]

Coming along real nice Plymouth Rat. I've just about finished the 52 Ford pick and I'm using it as my daily driver, while I'm working on a 39 Dodge Pick up. I'll keep mine full fendered, but lowered like yours, but using an S-10 frame with dropped spindles and air bags in the front. I've also got my eye on a 500 CID Caddy engine, something different. Have you been able to get body parts for yours?...I need a windshield frame and back window frame for mine. I was even considering attaching the windshield to the body permanently...If anyone knows any tricks, I sure could use some. Fords and Chevy's I know. Mopar's...Nada.

 

[Plymouth rat]

thanks Lakota, i do not have any body parts left, but if a windshield frame comes my way i will let you know...
