Adam,
Just a thought....questions from members range from very basic to very advanced. Is there enough server space to put some pictures out there like a good picture of a fuse box? You might need two or three pictures, one for each change in look or location. Under the pic, a brief descripton of the box location?
Obviously that is just an example. I would be willing to bet that many members would be willing to take the time to go out and take a pic of either standard or items unique to their particular years. The pics could be controled by the moderators for each forum and when a question comes up like " Where is my fuse box located? " the moderator of that particular forum could just quickly post the pic and write up.
I realize this could end up being a real can of worms but it could just as easily be another step in keeping this registry the best on line compilation of information for C3 Vettes.
Anyway, like I said, just a thought.

It is a good thought.

The photos can be made to take up little space, but still be useful. So storing them on the server isn't really the issue. The issue is collecting those pictures, and organizing them in such a way that they are easy to find.

I'd also say that this type of feature should probably have limited access to Gold & Lifetime Members because of the administrative overhead associated with it.

Lets get some more thoughts on this topic from other members...

I think it's a great idea. I have just gotten my first vette |bouncy| and there are somethigs you could explain to me and somethings i'm sure i wouldn't understand at all. And like they say a picture is worth a thousand words |biggrin| |saluteflag|

It would be a great help to me. I am definately a novice when it comes to repair/maintenance, but i love my Vette and I would really appreciate the opportunity to learn.
