hello , iam the new guy here and just wanted say hi and, i done some reading here and found this a very informative site, i recently bought a 29 4 door that was cut down into a truck back in world war2 , and used to haul steel, still has the fuel stickers in the windshield, and has been in a barn since 1956, its pretty ruff but i am going to leave her like she looks just replace the wood and finish it up like the truck just because of the history of it, i will be updating it so i can drive it to salt falts in august.not sure yet how to post pics but i will soon as i figure it out!

Here's easy steps to include your photo.

Pardon me if this has been discussed already...

I wonder if it would help those who want to post a picture next to their name if the FAQ list was expanded. The Current FAQ may be confusing to those who do not have their own Web site or understand URLs [like me]

1. Take a photo of your car, open it with Microsoft Picture. Under "Tools" reduce the size to 100 x 90 pixels.

2. Then go to VCCA's My Stuff to the left of Active Topics and choose Edit Profile.

3. Choose upload your "avatar" ... then click on browse, then find your picture on Microsoft. As long as it is less than 100 X 90 pixels, it will become your avatar.
