Looks like I'm moving to Dallas, TX the end of July ... so I sent it to a board member near me that restores cars.... he's going to finish the job I don't have time for anymore... Sad but happy at the same time, I know it will be done now....

:lol:

:chevy: .

spent some time replacing the speedometer cleaned everything up gave it a fresh coat a paint put it all back together and my used speedo was no good.

to answer your question after you attach files preview the post, then just below the preview you can make some changes to it look for where it says attach] you want to type after the last ] ( or see attached photo where I typed in "this is a test". I spend more time fixing relatives computer's then working on my truck, unfortunately it shows.

I removed the right inner fender and discovered the bottom edge of the core support was rusted to junk , pix or of the leading edge of my old inner fender , the bottom of the core support looking up from the fender well , the bits of combined core support , leading edge of the inner fender and bolts , all this broke off in my hands =8-^

Last pic is of the typical So. Cal. Pick-A-Part $7.00 inner fender :

VWNate1,

Is this what you're trying to do:

This is your first picture...

Attachment 1122101

Then your second picture...

Attachment 1122102

And, another picture...

Attachment 1122103

You can attach your images, using the "Manage Attachments" section. Then, put your cursor where you want the attachment to be, and use the "Attachments" button (looks like a paper clip) to insert the image where you want it to show up. (See below!)

Attachment 1122109

That's a really short description of how you get text between the images.
