too big

I give it an "A+" for effort and a "A-" for execution

How do I get the photos full size?
Like Franks photo of his Boss9.
In the Boss section.

Click on them to show full size
right click and choose view picture
copy url from full size picture
edit original post and use the "insert image" icon (under the B )
copy url into pop up, and insert where you want it within your post

Seems like a lot, but once you do it once or twice, it will become second nature. This is the way it is on most of the forums these days.

With the crash of the forum, I started digging through old documents, and found quite a few pictures of the tear down and rebuilding of my 69 GT500 #1584. So I thought I would start a new thread, a shortened and cliff note type version:

So we will start with humble beginnings of how the car looked when I purchased it from our very own, world renowned "Shelby Hunter" Dominic D.



Now, it does not look that bad from 20 feet away, until you see a close up of the paint and previous bodywork



Then you get an idea of what I was going to be working with.

When re-signing up I had talked to Bill via messenger and he asked that I try and use my same user name and not poach anyone elses so I didn't want to screw Gary Boehnlein by poaching his name    so I went with Shelbymann which is the same on many other forums so it transcends thru. Gary

Gary,

   I think I was more worried about you or someone else with nefarious reasons to be signing up as Bob Gaines

Love the revamp of the LVSAAC web site 

The triple play

A disaster. Unfortunately it will turn off many previous and future users who may have a somewhat lower level of involvement and enthusiasm about Shelby's. This will be an unmeasurable loss to a hobby that consists of a relatively small population. Don't understand the comment about the Forum being back, there is nothing back. What is back is a completely blank slate - nothing there. A disaster.

With change comes minor hiccups, like todays spammer attack as the holes in the firewall get repaired.
Give it some time, don't  make any rash decisions based on the first few days of operation.

Like myself, with countless posts and threads documenting the rebuild of my car to road worthiness,  I believe most people will view this not as a disaster, but a fresh start, both to learn from the past, and relearn in the future.

Result of the rework on the SAAC site is a disaster. New site is worthless. Guess whoever did the work has never heard of the maxim, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Just what I frequently ran into in my previous career in the business arena. Hope this does not destroy people's involvement in Shelby's. I'm afraid that will be the result from what is seen here.
