Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Miayota - been a fan for a while of your work ... you have a good eye for vintage tin & it shows.

I hope you have continued sucess in your hobby/side work.

Miayota, your 49 Silver Dollar is perfect. Would love to discuss how you achieved the exterior finish.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Simplest way is with a Photobucket, Fliker or some picture hosting site. Do you have one of those?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

All I have is Picassa which I don't even know if it is a hosting site. I am techno-dinosaur and all this modern stuff is really Greek to me.

Is your picasa web albums? If you access your picassa albums online (through a google+ account) then you're set. If not, you'll need to use one of the sites that ratty 46 mentioned. You need your photos uploaded to the web somehow. Once you have your photos in a photo hosting site, view the picture you want to post in full-size, and then right-click on it and click "Copy Image URL". Once you've done that, in your message window on this page click the little picture icon (it says insert image if you hover over it) above the text box, press CTRL+V (paste) to put the link in the box that pops up, and press OK. That will put the correct code in your message to display the image. Repeat as necessary. If you're not sure, click "preview post" at the bottom to see how it looks.

If you want to use photobucket you can do it a little easier by copying and pasting the code directly from photobucket.

Here's a thread as well: Photo Posting Thread

No it is not Picassa web albums. It is just a folder I keep photos in. Thanks anyway.

Mine is "Ultra Violet Metallic" one year only 2004 Chevrolet SSR color my late wife picked out of the sales brochure. In true "Red Hat Society" tradition, the interior is red. Unfortunately she didn't survive cancer to see or drive it. Women love it!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

afternoon Seamus, sorry to hear about your wife and my condolence's go out to you. would like to see a larger photo of your truck to see the color clearly. sounds like a great color, and I agree the color attracts lot's of women to it. at least it seems that way when I go to week-end car shows or whatever type I attend.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59


This is my about 75% done 1953 Chevy truck....all GM parts...250 6 cylinder, 4 speed truck tranny, Camaro rear end...it is currently #3 in the lineup too get worked on...I have a Willys S10 swap and then a near stock 1951 1 ton coming to my place this summer...then if I get time I will get back to work on this...it is rude and crude for sure....all it really needs now is a wiring kit...

Hi Phoenix
I have not driven it yet as I got sidetracked on a Willys Jeep rebuild for the past 2 years...It is currently 3rd on my list of stuff to rework...gotta S10 frame swap going on now and then a 1 ton farm truck...then back on this one..
All I am actually lacking is a wiring harness than we should good to go...I love the finish on the cab...in rust we trust for sure...

Seamus - are those Chevy Corvette / Camero rally wheels ? If so, where did you get the old school hub caps that fit those wheels ?
Thanks, Nvrdone

Rears are original Corvette 15"X8", fronts are original 15"X6", used on early Corvettes & fleet cars - Impalas & such. Bought the hub caps at Charlotte Auto Fair. Most of the parts & wheel vendors sell them. Believe Summit sells them also.
