hello from vancouver island

Hello everybody!

My name is Jarrod Craig. Ive been lurking around this site for awhile and figured I should register. My car is a 70 oldsmobile cutlass. I bought the car 12 years ago when i was 18 for $800. It served me very well as my only car for 2 years until I left for college. After school was over I started working on the cutlass again. After many years and countless hours I finally put the insurance on the car this summer!

As it sits now, the car has a rebuilt '70 350, th350, 9" rear. tubular rear arms, lowering springs, 4 wheel disks, big sway bars, and 15" ss2 rallyes.

If i can figure out how to post pics i will.

My plans this year are to finish the interior and head out on a few good road trips.

The info on this site has been very helpful. Thank you.

Welcome! We've got several members from B.C. and down in the Seattle Area.

Here's a thread outlining a couple ways to post pictures:

Hi there Jarrod. Welcome aboard. Well since you need some help with posting pics that everyone is asking for, here ya go.

* clik the 'go advanced' tab
* Press the icon that looks like a paper clip; and A 'Manage Attachments' box will appear
* Choose (navigate on your computer to where the pics are stored) and hit 'open'. repeat for all 5 pics.
* Hit 'upload'. It may take a bit of time depending on your pic resolution. If you have ultra high res, you will have to 'resize' them with your picture editor to a 1024X768 size for the C.O. server to accept them.
* Close the "manage attachments' box.
* Preview your post and the images will be at the bottom
* Hit 'submit post' and the thread will have the images installed at the bottom. Unfortunately you can only do 5 pics at a time this way.

If you have the pics hosted on another web server?
* Copy the IMG url and Press the icon that looks like an envelope with mountains on it. Paste the URL into that box and hit 'ok'. You can install up to 20 images this way.
* Be sure to preview your work.
* Make sure the images don't carry on across the page, stack them for easier viewing.
