  1. It looks like it is just for iPhone. I looked at it on the app site and it looks more like an email program would be on your phone. User reviews were not kind though so I think I'm gonna skip it. I use photobucket for my pics but didn't know they had an app. Think I'm gonna give that a shot. It'd be nice to be able to load pics to the forum without having to fire up the Mac

  2. I seem to be checking the forum more and more using my iphone but so far haven't been able to figure out how to upload pics from it. At the bottom of my iphone screen it mentions a "IPS Communities App" for the iphone. Anyone using this? I'd love some info before putting it on my phone.

  3. Here's one that I thought everyone knew till someone looked at me funny the other day. All of us have extension cords or electrical items with cords that need to be tidied up for storage etc. Grab an old toilet paper tube and fold up your cord then stuff it in the tube. Done!

  4. Many thanks for all the kind words. The paint on this took more time than the whole rest of the car. For some reason the last several cars I've done we're black. Not sure why. I used Rustoleum paints and primers for all three, same cans in fact. Same prep and cleaning materials too and the others turned out perfect. Maybe I got cocky and needed to be taught a lesson or something. At any rate, this Shelby kicked my butt. First the primer didn't go down smooth. Not a big deal because it gets sanded with fine grit anyway but it took longer. Next the gloss black dried with tiny fish eyes and a little dust. Tried polishing it out with Meguires as usual and it took the shine off the paint. Followed that with 2 coats of clear to seal it and bring back the shine only to discover real fine dust in the dried clear. Next I ignored it on the corner of my desk for a month because I was pissed at it. Finally I decided to try the Meguires on the clear as a last chance before stripping it and starting over. I was surprised that the end result is not bad but looks better in the photos. Hard to keep your sense of humor sometimes. Lol
