Hey Al, Thanks so much. I was hopin someone would take pity on me. I will give it another try a little later today. Wish me luck!

I am really discouraged! I'd like to share this stuff with ya'll but I'll be "dipped" if I can figure out how to participate in and gracefully navigate this site. Maybe it's me but I don't have this problem with several other forums I participate in. Just posting pics is a major chore that I have yet to understand. I'm about to give up!

Takes more time to get the pics online than it does to find them. IMG_8532 IMG_8521 Notice the chink in his noggin IMG_8595 Shot these out the back window. Images I didn't know I had till I got home.IMG_8603

Hi Again, What a rush seein the pics from Lone Star Roundup. We had a good group touring to Texas from Calif. FYI, the lady looking at the Phaeton is the owner/driver of the Nomad. And, the green roadster is a Chevy and has a V8 under the stock sheetmetal. Poor guy was fighting tire problems the whole trip. Blew a tire on the way out of town and crashed. Spent the night in the hospital getting stiched up. (Beware of "new old tires".) Next day lost an axle when the bearing went because of a bent wheel that went undetected. He finally got back to Calif. on "the hook". I have a lucky pic of the axle exiting the car that I discovered after returning home. I'll try to find and post it.

if it's any consolation,....you're not alone. Probably half the knuckleheads on this site suffer the same. Projects,....it's easy to buy 'em, it's easy to start 'em and it's a bitch to stay focused and finish 'em!

Sorry for the delay in responding. You may have seen my struggle to get pics on The Forum. I think I got it now. I bought the 40 from Archie Lewis in Moriarty in June of 07. The year before a friend (w/34 Phaeton) and I stopped at his new place after spotting it, throught the fence, on I-40. He had rows of 30's Fords and said right up front, none were for sale. I spotted the 40 and couldn't stop thinking about it. I called him months later and asked, "what about that old Plymouth?" I scored!

With a lot of "hand holding" I finally got da trick of posting photos. Here's the front suspension as of six years ago,...and today.

lessee,...here goes DAMN! IT WORKED, THANKS Don and aero3113. Hope I can remember

How'd you do that?

This is drivin me to watch football

GRRRR! try again and again

try again

Well,...that didn't get it either!: I've searched the FAQ and tried the best I know how to follow those directions. What's a BB code? That's what I thought I copied, and pasted, from the bottom of the full size image in my album. I'd like to share this renewed build project with ya'll but it's becoming very frustrating. ANY TIPS?

108-0846_img It's taken me forever to figure out how to post pics larger than a thumbnail. I hope this gets it. This is how the car sits today,....Jan. 2011. I'm planning to focus on it with a vengence beginning in Feb. starting at the rear. At this point I have modified the spare wheelwell and installed a gas tank against the rear seatback. First order of business is securing the tank and fabricating a steel bulkhead to isolate the trunk& tank.
