There is a thread on here that shows you how to do it. Just do a search for images.

PM sent if you would like me to post them for you?

Mitch

[dazzad888]

68 camaro, hate the wheels but thats easily changed, next motor,trans..
cant decide 383 or BB? and alll the little bits an pieces that the car is missing, heaps to do!!

[cluxford]

Daz,

Hope it's staying yellow (my fav colour). a 68 as well (best choice) and a BB now you're making me drool on my keyboard...

What other plans do you have for it ?

[RAW454]

Heya Daz & congrats! I think I saw that in Unique Cars or something? Looked real tidy.

Know what you mean about having a solid starting point but still loads to be done - Is what all the fun is about! (Oh, and the heartache it seems.. but make the successes even sweeter). Enjoy!!

[J.J.]

love the colour

[TUFF68]

Nice ride Dazza, agree with you about the wheels and no prize for guessing i'm going to vote BB :D

[dazzad888]

Cheers fellas, i agree bigger is better!! Still undesided probably will go BB, easy horsies! Pulled Motor gearbox out last night, will asses the block of the 350 an go from there. Eventually aiming for low to mid 11's on street slicks, But keeping it fairly stock looking besides a set of wheels and a 9 inch. will let yas know how things progress

[dazzad888]

Oh thanks any way Mitch, think i worked it out

[AUSCAMARO]

Sorry Chris,

Nice looking car mate.

Mitch

[dazzad888]

Thanks for that mate!

[OldsmobilesDownUnder.com]

Sweet ride ! ... yeah, I agree, the wheels have to go, but someone will want them & the motor so don't just give them away.

BB are the most fun mate ! I have put an Olds 425ci in my 72 Cutlass and there in nothing better - better exhaust note, better reaction from the go pedal and a better reaction from those around you :)

Enjoy !

[dazzad888]

Motor/gearbox out tonight again, only needed a new starter and that happened!!!
Clean up engine bay now ready for paint. Might be a stupid Question but painting the engine the same colour as the car , how does it go long term with heat ect ...Does it need something special in it or can i just use the same paint? The car is 2 pack, any recomendations? , want to do it myself.

[AUSCAMARO]

AGAIN?!!

Oh well, you may as well play.

Pretty sure you just need to make sure that the block is super clean and I would rekon using a direct gloss 2 pack would be the way to go? Not 100% sure though...

Mitch

[dazzad888]

yeh i thought that may be the case, Just dont want it pealling off after all that effort

[AUSCAMARO]

So, how did you go with the block painting?

Any update pics?

[dazzad888]

Just used the 2 pack which is on the car , seemed to work ok after about 8 coats. Yeah i have got pics but i dont know how to downsize them,engine bay turned out pretty good! Everythings nice an clean now and a bit more fun to work on, engine back in on the weekend, new hidden wiring, battery to boot ect. Just reasembling now and the roadworthy/lo2... Cant wait to actually drive the thing!!! My friend is on a ford forum, he said he had to download photobucket to post his pics, does that sound rite

[USA-69Z]

Thats how i do it...I think there is another wAY ...which i dont know:(

[AUSCAMARO]

You don't need to download photobucket, you can just sign up and it's free.

It's pretty self explanatory.

Give it a shot..

Looking forward to some pics.

Mitch

[WILD68]

all i do is resize the photos in Microsoft Paint then load em direct off the computer...

[67cammy]

Hey, excellent. Just tried that and worked good. I've been right clicking on a pic and clicking 'send to recipient' and it resizes it to send. Wonder how many ways there are to resize stuff. Easier doing it your way. A few less clicks

[TUFF68]

That's what i do sometimes as well, but if you set your camera to take 600 x 400 pics you should'nt have to resize at all ;)

[S[_]SPECT]

Photobucket can resize on upload... there is a resize dropdown just under the load pictures control

[dazzad888]

think ive worked the photo thing out more to come

[WILD68]

Yep just click on the Paperclip icon in the reply section and add the photos that way.. ( comes up in your post not separately)

Looks like it came up a treat, i like the yellow donk.. nice

[MrCam]

Hi WILD68,

Do you have any pics posted of your Camaro. I am contemplating doing mine silver and am after some pics.

[USA-69Z]

Hi WILD68,

Sorry to but in ... have a look thru the 'camaro porn' thread... heaps of colours to check out in there including some silver jobs:)

[AUSCAMARO]

If you host your photo's elsewhere such as photobucket then you can have the image show up by using the [IMG] code and it will also come up bigger.

From what I could see the yellow looks great on the block.

[dazzad888]

This i what i have to do to post

1 send photos from camera to computer

3 downsize there

4 send back to computer

Takes me about and hour to do about 5 photos, i would post more if there was an easier way, im computer iliteret but getting there drrrr

Once they are in photobucket, simply copy the IMG link (in full) and paste that in the post. The IMG link will insert it as a photo not as a link
