Pictures, pictures pictures and more pictures. We want to see too. you have to share. I'm gonna call your Starfleet Commander(Rosa) and tell on ya for not sharein'.

I'll be doin' the same thing soon enough and could use the pictures as a guide.

 
 I'm frustrated, George! Been tryin' to post my suspention pics in the gallery all mornin' with no luck. Keep gettin' message that the page can't be displayed.
I tested with a landscape shot that went through alright, dumped it and tried the suspension pics, won't load them. 

Try saveing them in another format. maybe they are an unacceptible type. I think JPEG or BMP will work. And do they need to be a certain size. I haven't done a gallery yet, .....I know...I know...I'm lame!

I finally figured a route to take. Here's a pic of what I just took out of the "Starship". (this is a before removal pic)

Yes, that's a loop in the heater hose. Had to do that 'cause the heater core was leaking.
 
I appologize friends, I thought I had this picture thing solved.
I'm tryin' not to use a host, and post them myself. I feel like a real dumby!

Don't feel bad Dave. I just spent more than 2 hours trying to upload 8 pictures to the gallery. it kept saying "site not found" had to do it one at a time and get out of it and then back every time. what a pain in the keester. Stick with it, ....you'll get it.

sorry i dont know how to mathe the little quote box just yet but if you're looking to cann a for the best ones were auctually from the mid 80s to early 90s and i think it was only the tarus (sp?) that had em...good luck

O.K. George,
Lesson 1, open your hood, and you should find something that looks kinda like this.....
 

Don't lie to me Dave....Not the hood.....the passenger door. Mine was in the passengers seat. The heads and tranny were behind the seats and the bell housing and  accessories were on the passeger side floor. No wonder I couldn't get it to start, No matter how much I stepped on the gas and turned the key it just wouldn't start. Nothin' under the hood....See!

 Yours must be one of those rare mid-engine Vettes, with a trunk in front!
 
I love the tilt front clip!!!
Is the hood still functional, or do you have a solid deck?
 

It is one piece complete, but the cowel is still functional. The factory hood liner is there with the round cut out for the air cleaner to fit up in it. The head lights have been moved down behind the grill so the top of the hood is completely smooth. I posted some pictures in the gallery thingy if you want to see the front shot of the hood. I'm going to mold the front clip (and anything else I can) just incase of a boo boo.

Dave,in the picture where the 454 is beeing set on the trailer deck Are you the person by the engine(my guess)(My motor,My motor) or the person watching with a coffee in your hand(city worker)(Hey waite a minuite thats what I do).By the way I don't have an engine under my hood either.I was told mine was one of those rare rear engine models.I have been trying to get the trunk up but can't find the release.(Did someone say sawsall)HA! Going to get the rods and pistons in the 350 today ( in between all the other things I have to do.Have a good one talk at ya later

Hey busnut,
I'm takin' the pics, y'all don't want ta see my ugly mug!
I was the main technical advisor.
Easy,...easy,......I SAID...EASY!!!

*thumps on desk*  Bwaaaaaaahahahahha!!  Classic!

Hey Dave, I went to the gallery to look at you pictures and your album is empty.What a tease.You really own that vette or is it a calender picture HaHa!!.Did you get the engine area painted yet.Too Freaking COLD here to do much(-10c). I brought the calipers in the house and tore them downand did a basic clean.Now I need to go outside to wire wheel them,then I can bring them back in the house to hone and install the kits.Then out to the shed to paint them(if I can find room) Have a good one,talk at ya later. 

Well, here's one pic......
 

 
 
I'm goin' to try and get pics posted in the gallery soon!

Very nice ride Dave!!Hope mine looks as good as that when I am done.!!!Boy do I have alot of work ahead of me.

Thanks for  the compliment, but.......
Don't let the pic fool ya, the paint is shot. It has the miniture heat shields I showed a pic of in another of my posts. (in Off Topic, "Starship" heat shield tiles) The interior is in pretty sad shape too.
That blue front end fades back to some real funky flames that look like they were done by a rattle can. Oh ya, the front and rear bumpers are badly warped.
I'm doin' a ground up,.... suspension (it's done), drive train, it's done 'cept for puttin in the 454 and the 3sp w/OD.
Her next step, before I saved 'er from an abusive, mean, ol' man, was to a wrecking yard,  but Daddy's goin' to make 'er all better!

Ought Oh....sounds like the first signs of obsessive behavior......" Miss Rosa I am very sorry to have to tell you this,...But....."


I speak from familiarity of condition...hehehe

 Rosa is an "enabler", she hands me wrenches!

I guess I'm goin' to have to start my own gallery, I can't get squat to load in "the" gallery. Here's one of my favorite pics!
 

 
(160X120)
 
I figured out how to resize, but can't get them to show up without photo bucket.

Mine was stored at the mother inlaws in california for over a year.We live about 750 miles away and was unable to get down there to pick it up.When I got  there it was in the bushes with garbage piled on it and the nieghbourhood cats were living inside it.One day I will show you a picture of it.She was really beat when I got her so like you I'm doing everything. The wife already knows I'm nuts so she just goes with the flow
