It has officially started, for those of you I met at the 2014 gathering in Appleton you will know that it is the restoration of my 75. Not ready to separate body and frame yet but have been playing around stripping paint. Well wouldn't you know it the car has 3 paint jobs so lets see that's uh..... like 7 layers or so to come off. oh yay for me.

ok so I've tried a hundred times to post a picture of the stripping and sanding and the many layers of paint jobs that I have to go through, but its just not working for me I don't understand why its so hard to do. I see a few others on here seem to have the same problem
I opened a Photo Bucket account. It's free, and, it will allow you to add photos as you go. Seems to work great. Good luck with your project.
Enjoy the ride of a restoration. Its up day and down the next. I found the toughest part of the job was what to replace and once you replace one part what about the part beside it. Till its all said and done you seem to replace way more then you originally thought you would. But its a very nice thing when its done and your cruising down the road again in your restored vette. Best of luck in your restoration.

yep
only did the one picture and was trying to upload it without success I might add. don't know what I'm doing wrong, kinda makes you wonder doesn't it, I'm going to dismantle a complete car and put it back together yet I can't figure out how to post a couple of pictures.
Go figure my computer won't even let me put in a smiley face keeps giving me an error. just par for the course as they say

Cindy, have a look at THIS THREAD ...it might have some help for you on inserting pics, and smilies too. If not,Post a new question in the Official C3 Vette Registry Support/Issues/Comments forum, and Adam will look into what might be causing the issue for you. Are you using a phone/I-pad/Android type machine, or PC/laptop? Folks have been having problems using phones/tablets to load pics....
