Welcome to the CO. Sounds like you have a great car. Now we want pics Just click "go Advanced" and then click "manage attachments" to browse for pics on a file from your computer or if you have a picasa or photobucket account, then right click on your pic and click copy image location and then click and then right click inside address box that pops up and right click again to paste image location address. Hope this helps.... Anyhoo feel free to ask away, someone will chime in to help.

Welcome aboard, I love the 66 convertible model. To post specific questions browse the forums for the correct category and just ask away. It will show up in the 'New Posts' header.

Finally.I have some friends!

GAOldsman andTripDeuces,thanks for quick post.I'll browse forums for correct headings,as per your advise.Photos may be a problem,until I get some personal guidance,due to my advanced age.I am motivated,though,due to the extreme beauty of the 66 442 convertible.By the way,it's a white exterior with light blue interior.
By the way,never trust a woman,an I.R S. agent,or a fart!

Hey John,

'66 is my favorite year by far. You've got a keeper! And remember, the money is in the canvas!

Welcome to the site John! I hope your able to get photos posted so we can see your car. I'm glad to help out with the side trim. There are several members here with 1966 convertibles so if you come up with any questions during your restoration feel free to post them. Hopefully someone has crossed that bridge before! John
