Qwit Pushin Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mike, your GTO is looking fantastic, I had a '69 GTO convertible in High School, (Red with black top). Your mother will be extremely proud of the work you've done on this model, but what I'm most impressed with is your willingness to include your little brother. Trust me, these will be great memories for both of you when you get older. You're an awesome big brother and you're setting a great example for Charlie. Thanks for sharing your build and your story.

Odaroloc24 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well i have been wrapped up in school since my last post but i will be posting pics later tonight or tomorrow. Camera died so cant do it today. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks like a great project Mike . The wheels and tires , and the dash look great . As far as larger pictures , try using Photobucket . It is really simple to use and costs nothing to set up . And welcome to the forum ! BOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaroloc24 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks Bob! Well the camera is charged can took a few pics. Will also be posting videos on Youtube on my progress.

turn1wonder Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Michael. Nice work on the build, your Mom (and little brother) sure will be happy when it is done. This site only allows a small amount of space on it for member photos. As BOB mentioned above you will need to create an off-site account on Photobucket or some other free file hosting site then link from that site to post them here.

donkeypuncher76 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Michael, nice work, i love the Judge's.. Go to photbucket as they say set up an acct. upload your pics from your i-phone or computer to that site, you will creat your own online albums etc.. After that is done you will see 3 little url/www.. boxes below each pic. Have 2 tabs open 1 for here, one there. Go to the bottom 1 that sat img. copy it like you copy and paste anything else, come back here to the post you have written and right click to paste, thats it. I can't remember 4 sure but you may have to delete you older pics you posted here to have room. after thats done you can post away. as for bigger pics, look at any of my posted pics, they came from photobucket and thats the size they end up here, some camera some phone..good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaroloc24 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well i'm going to go work a scout camp for about 6 weeks and wont be able to work on any projects. Be back in July! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaroloc24 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Well i haven't been on here in a while. After i came back from came had about a week to finish the two projects i was taking tot he 4-H fair. I finished them the day before the fair but im going to go back and find all of the pics I took of them and go through the story for all of you. I have a few pics here but i have to go find the others on another computer. It seems for this model i only have interior pics on this computer. Ill go find the others later today. Ill go find more pics later today. I know its a little sloppy but its my first try at small detail like that.
