Re: Need tech help concerning pictures on the forum
Go to https://postimages.org/login

Log in to your account if you have one - otherwise, enter your email address and click the "Sign Up" button to create an account

Click the "My Images" link that is just to the left of your email address in the upper right corner

Create a "gallery" (folder) to hold the photos you are going to upload.  (to stay organized)

You are ready to upload your photo now:
1)  Select your gallery for the photo
2)  Select your image size - for posting 800x600 is a good size
3)  Leave "No expiration" for the length of time you want the photo on the web
4)  Now click the "Choose images" button to select the photos to be uploaded from your computer

Now that you have your photos in PostImages, you can include them in a post on the forum:
When you are typing a post on the forum, you will find the button for including a photo 3 places to the right of the smiley face button.  When you click the photo button, it will ask for the full URL of the image you want to post.  Here's how you get that URL:

1)  Log in to your https://postimages.org account
2)  Click the "my images" button in the upper right of the screen
3)  Click on the gallery that has your desired photo
4)  Point at the photo with your mouse and you will see the "share" icon appear above the photo to the left of the "trash can" icon.
5)  Click the "share" icon.
6)  The second item in the list is the "Direct Link".  Click the "copy button" located on the far right of this line.  This will put the URL that you need on your clipboard. 
7)  Back on the forum, just paste the URL on you clipboard in the Images box URL, then click OK.


Note:  This may sound complicated, but trust me it is not.  This post is long only because I tried to list all of the relevant steps.

Edit:  Oh, I didn't mention this but if you are not using the "Tabs" feature of you browser now is when you want to start doing this.  With browser tabs, you can have PostImages open in one Tab and the Forum open in another Tab.  Then you just click back in forth between the two Tabs as you are writing your Forum Post.  This is how you quickly include multiple photos in a single Post.

Not saying you can’t put them on a 68 but only the 67 came with the ribbed aluminum tail light panel and aluminum dash/door trim. The 68 dash and floor console had either camera case or wood overlays.

I did not know that...I was thinking they both did.
 

It looks good Billy. It's an early 68, made before July as it still has the flush mounted rear quarter reflectors. What are the particulars - engine, trans, any mods? I do see it has A/C too, and a turn signal hood.
Did you make an offer, or?
( I do have to admit a bit of bias - as it it a 68...)
