Have you considered a journal to post your pictures? I started one but each photo had to be sized correctly and loaded individually and is a time eater so have not kept it up. I do intend on eventually updating it for "posterity".

Crummy wet weather, but warm, relatively speaking, for a Californian today so will be a "car day" rather then a yard ( I've told my wife that the next house will be in a former hay field rather then the woods )

Thanks Dave, the frame looks much better now that it's painted. There are a lot of extraneous holes, some from the previous trans mount, some from exhaust brackets, some from the factory, some from what seemed to be logical choices at the time...etc...It will definitely never be a "show car" frame but as long as it's safe & decent looking, I'll be okay with it for a while. My dad & I did a body-off build on the car when we first built it. The next time the body comes off will be to set it on a nice new TCI chassis! But who knows when that will be??? They may have outlawed streetrods by then!!!

I've been trying to take pics when I can. I have considered posting them in a journal but just haven't done it yet. When I download them from my camera, I size them for emailing purposes. Don't know if that's the right size for the journal site or not but hopefully will check it out soon.

Be thankful for the rain. It gives you a chance to play with your car . It's supposed to be 80 and sunny here today but we're currently under a "marine layer", west coast terminology for "clouds". It should burn off by noonish. It's not always sunny in SoCal, much to my dismay!
