Hello for the first time! I have finally registered and have been following this site for quite a while now while obtaining lots of valuable info and insight into our hobby. I guess I finally started to feel guilty for not being able to give back! I am anxious to start sharing and will have to figure out how to upload photos and links. I've had many Mopars over the years and have managed to hold on to my first car; a 1971 GY8 Satellite. I bought the car when I was 16 in 1990 from Jerry's Used Cars in Salem, OR. My Dad drove me and my best buddy down from Vancouver, WA were we still live today. I still have the AutoTrader clipping and would love to share it. The car is currently on a rotisserie and just got it's belly sprayed last week in B2 Glacial Blue. With mixed feelings I've decided to leave the gold paint behind. Interior will be B5 and powered by a 71 440, 727 and 3.23 Sure Grip while riding on new G60-15 Polyglas tires with new 15" versions of Road Wheels and polished trim rings.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Though I'm late to post this for Mothers Day I thought I'd share it with you. This is my Satellite in Ocean Park, WA at my folk's place Sept of 2012 just before I blew it apart for paint. by the way, I had to crop this photo 5 times before I could upload it. Any advice?

If you already have a youtube or gmail account then you should already have access to the free Picasa Web Albums. Just upload your photos to any free web album and then when you want to post it in the forum all you need to do is click the "img" tab and insert your pictures url.

hope that helps

Don't feel bad about leaving the gold behind... did you know that Dave's RR was actually BUTTERSCOTCH before he had it painted B5? The horrors!

A free download of freeware called Irfanview. Nice picture manipulation software will let you easily resize picures.

What's wrong with Butterscotch? Not ordianary like some of the other popular colors.
