welcome to EB, you need to paste the image locations between the IMG tags. if you use photobucket just click the last line in the list by your image and paste it into the message, it will include image tags already.

Taking shape nicely. You are indeed both brave and talented

Our 71 Danbury was in slightly better condition on the body - but the chassis was minging!

Interesting wheels... What are they? Merc? Audi?

Welcome to the forum,it looks like you're going to be ready if you keep up the good work,well done. 8) Are you going to also blank off the high indicators on the new front panel and fit indicators back to where they where?
