Isn't the yahoo folders private, meaning only the person with the username and password have access to it.
I'd say just post some attachments like was mentioned.

yahoo pictures can be made public... i have a friend who is a pro at changing hers around because she has a few "special shots" she doesnt want everyone to see.. lol. i'd say that is exactly your problem, they're still listed as private albums. check into that...

as for the name bigmike, ill share too... great minds think alike, ya know?

MyFirstCamaro92RS-yeah that's my parents. That blue '68 is my mom's first car. Got it brnd new in 1968. Doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it (somewhre round 97,000). I agree; it is a nice way to show off. When we go to car shows this summer, my car is gonna be parked right next to hers. I think i's neat to know that me and my mom both got the same make and brand of car s our first, just mine is 20 years newer

BTW, her engine is an inline 6 cylinder. I swear to ***, there's so much room in the engine bay, you could like sleep in it

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you gys like it. I'll gt some new pictures taken at some point (those pics were all taken on Decmber 25 (when I got it) 2001. I've done some things to it sice then,so I'll get some pics up.

Nah, haven't raced it yet. I think I would winif I did. i mean,it's only an inline 6 cylinder,; I got an 8 cylinder with tuned port..but the 68 would put up quite a fight, I think. It does haul pretty nicely.

My car used to be maroon with gold gfx andstandard 1988 sport coupe rims. however, when the previous owner go the junk '86 Z 28 that my engine was taken out of, it had decent rims, so he put those on instead. The gfx were painted the same (or close) tone of silver that the gfx were painted early in the third gen. But,when he couldn't sell the car for $3000 wth the original paint (it was all faded and racking and peeling), he took it to Maaco,got the entire ar colo-matched to the silver gfx, and hat was that.

Also, it did have junkZ-28 gfx emblems on it, but I solved that by getting black and silver Camaro gfx emblems.

I'm poud to say its a sport coupe, but it ain't just a sport coupe

You ain't telling me nothing new there. I had a chevy with the inline 6..it was a great car to work on as easy access to everything. And if it started raining, crawl into the bay, drop the hood over you and keep working. Ahhh, the good ole days

BigMike92Z-

The interior pieces are all the stock pieces painted silver. I used Testor's grey primer to prime the pieces, then gave each one a coat or two of Testor's gloss silver paint. Topped it all of with some Testor's dullcote. Real easy to do; for the door handles (i dunno if you saw them in the pic), they needed to be al taped off so only certain sections would get paint and the other parts would stay black, but it was all worth it. Haven't had any problems with the paint chipping or anything.

And you'll see I have no ashtray ain't nobody smoking in my car :lala:

Yeah, she use to be maroon. Ugly color,but such was the style in the 80s
