Thank my wife for her guts here. She is a bold one and wanted her car to be the first we posted. So here is some early shots of her 69 Camaro she is building for her father. The wing is from a Nissan 350Z kids toy a friends kids wrecked. The headers are solder. Hope ya'll like. HH and Bug Attachments:

It should be neat I think. She smiled big at your kind words. More to follow as she builds. We build on average 3 to 5 times a week. From about 4 hours on weekdays and 12 or more on our weekends.
Thanks again

Sounds like a good, productive plan-of-attack you two have! You should be able to turn out some quantity, at the same time improving your skills with every building session!! I envy the togetherness at the work bench! While Mrs. Bucky doesn't have anything against me working on these things, doing one herself is the last thing on her mind!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

I hate painting the smaller parts. I do it under protest. One day she was bored I asked her to paint some small parts for me since she likes art. She did as I asked and I went on and she watched but looked bored. I asked her if she wanted to try building one herself. She agreed, more out of being bored than anything. So I gave her a General Lee kit I had and said do as you please. Before she finished building it she was talking about going to the store. She wanted to get another one but she wanted to pick it out. That was nearly two years and a dozen builds ago. She is the interior queen here. She hates painted interior.
Several months ago a friend has joined us two nights a week in building. So now our model room or (Dream Workz Auto Palace) as we refer to it, is home to three builders. We all work together in ways:
My wife handles most interior, lettering, decal work for all of us.
I do all exhaust work, and most suspension and drivetrain mods and detail for all three. And my friend Dr. Bob as we call him supplys the odd stuff. Like makin stereos, amps, tv's, game systems and custom free hand art work when needed, as he is a tattooist.
I babble to darn much. Any way thanks for the support and the wife loves to read them as well as I do.

I will attempt to post more of this car today as it is now out of paint. I have been playing with some chrome colors. She had me shoot the car in a chrome as a base. Then covered it with blue metalizer.
HH
P.S. Thanks for the comments. And she grins ear to ear over Mad Skillz. LOL

Hey Hammerhead
I think I know where you are going wrong with your posting pics!
Are you posting your pics as attachments? Using the "Attachment :" field? Pics are normally posted by entering your pics URL inbetween two IMG tags. This is done in the main field where you enter your post's text. Click in the text area then where the "Add tags" icons are - pick the one that looks like a small picture in a frame (fourth from left, bottom row) and the two image (IMG) tags are presented for you in the field.
You need to have your pics stored on an image hosting site like Fotki or Photobucket, but I guess you already knew that.
The complete tag should look like
(img)your pics url including the http bit(/img)
I have had to put round brackets "("instead of square "[" brackets above to prevent the forum software from regarding it as an actual img tag - just substitute square brackets for the round ones!
You can add as many pics as you like (unless the admin lay down a limit), but each must reside within its own img tag
If you already new this but it dont work anyways then I dunno I guess!
Hope it helps
Bob
