The above will work but it can be made a little easier by clicking the "Insert Photo from my recent Gallery entries" link under the big text box, once you have some photos uploaded.

See the Photo tutorial in my signature below

Interesting buggy. The frame looks a great deal like a Funco SS1 or SS2. The tires look to be Armstrong Norseman. I used those a LOT back in the 70s, and so did lots of others. Dick Cepek took over the molds when Armstrong went out of business. And changed the 'A' at the shoulder into an overlapped 'DC'. Yours have the 'A' just like the ones I used in the 70s. What brand are they? And where did you get them?

Someone saw you at a car show this weekend. They posted a pic of it over on pafoa.com. It’s a gun forum, good guys. They were impressed.

Have you noticed how many people there are in traffic with cameras yet? I get a laugh out of how many people drive up beside me and take pics. If it hasn’t happened yet, you will see it soon.

Again, nice work. It looks very clean. Let me know if you get some free time some weekend. I’d love to get a closeup look at it.

I really need to make my boss hire more guys! I’ve been running 80-95 hours/week and rarely get a minute to look at stuff. I missed your message by a week or more.


I appreciate the kind words. It was a long battle, and my poor wife watched the fight and stood by me even when it looked like I was going to lose and bankrupt us in the process. I found a winner in my wife.
