Default Pics

So it seems that all my pics are too big,,,,OH WELL ,,,As soon as my car is back on wheels it's being transported to METALWORKS CLASSICS in Eugene OR, For the rest of the build,,,The guy putting the rear clip in isn't being careful enough to continue the project since the first time I went to see the progress my car had 3 new scratches,,,and his response was it's not like it was a 20 k show paint job,,,I'm sure everybody here can understand how I felt,,,,I'm thinking he is lucky I'm a pretty mellow guy most car guys don't take kindly to dents and scratches.

Welcome! You can use a site like photobucket.com to reduce the picture size in order to post pictures. Sounds like you've got a nice project going. Good luck on the build.
