If you're using an IPod/IPhone, download the free Photobucket app and find the settings menu.





Chose "Upload" and set the "Image size" to 640x640 max. All the pics you upload will now automaticly set to 640 max width/height. It saves this setting so you only have to do this once, not everytime you upload a pic. You can also create separate albums here under the "Default Album" tab for the photos to be uploaded into. I have a few for my different projects to keep things organized.




To upload a pic, go to the "Upload Media" menu and click "choose existing".





Choose which album, then click on the picture you want to upload.




Once you click on a pic it'll go to the "processing" page. Your pic is now uploaded, and you can access it in the "My Albums" tab, or on your account on Photobucket.com.





To post a pic from your iPod, go to the "My Albums" page and choose the album that you uploaded the pic to.




Choose the Album,



Then find the pic you want to upload, click on it to open it, then click the "i" at the bottom to open the link box. Click the bottom "IMG" code to copy the link for the forum.




All you have to do then is open Safari/67-72chevytrucks.com, and paste the IMG code in your forum message wherever you want the pic to show up. It goes quickly and smoothly once you get used to it, and it's way easier/quicker than using a digital camera and having to transfer the pics to your computer, then attatching them to your message using the forum's galllery. And you can take pics and post from your iPod (or any device with photobucket's app) wherever you are.

If you want to post from a computer just find your account on photobucket.com. They're already resized and it's the same process- find the pic you want to upload, click the "IMG" code, then paste the code in your post. I like photobucket since there's no watermarks or ad bars in the pic itself, or visible/separate link codes- just the pic.

Hey thanks for the Ipod info!
and No the Nomand is borrowed from the WWW.
Just to show the paint.
I have been working on this truck for over 3yrs, and it is my first, and may be my last! ha
I had help with the engine and the 2 tone paint, I did all the masking, and my friend did the spraying. Then I came back and airburshed, then he cleared over it.
All of this was done right where you see it in the pic. My garage..

Excellent work! It's that kind of in-my-own-garage work that breathes the best life into them. With me it's 80% sweat, 10% research, 10% billfold, and 10% insanity.
