See if this works. Here's my progress so far. I just decided I want to powder coat the frame, was informed I would have to have the POR15 sandblasted off.

Well that didn't work. If anyone here is more tech savvy than I am, could you possibly walk me through the steps on how I need to save photos and get them to post here? I tried the steps posted above, tried coping and pasting,clicking the upload button, every time I get an error telling me my file is too big.

Thanks,
Joe

There is a file size limit for the pictures to post them on the forum. I think it is 5 megs. You can resize the pics with an app on your phone or online on your computer. Once they are shrunk (file size), they will upload. I suggest shrinking them by 40%.

THANKS! I did find a way to resize the photos. I'll try again. Now one last question should I be posting my restoration here, or would it be preferred to start a new thread ?

Okay, I THINK it's going to work this time! here's my progress so far. This week the frame will be of to get powder coated. Next week I'm heading to Pa to UMI performance to pick up my suspension kit and I get to take a tour of the shop, see how the components are actually made! I'm going to try and keep track of part numbers in case anyone is interested.

Pictures are all working. Progress looks great. You might consider starting a build thread.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I've decided to have the frame powder coated, it has to be sand blasted again. Money wasted but I learned, you can never pre-plan enough :) The diff cover came from Summit Racing part # PRO-141-695. That number is for a 10 bolt.
