Ah, Sorry, More of a Registry board question than a Stoddard question.

Anyhoo...when you're making a reply post or editing your original post, click on the "full editor" button there's an IMG button that you press and it gives you the [img]and[/img] tags to post the image--In between those to IMGs is where you would post the URL of where your images are stored (private website, photo bucket, etc)

Or, you can upload attachments to your post (that's below the main text box.

I purchased my 1959 Convertible D in 1972. I drove it while attending college at University of Missouri. Stored during the harshest winter months,driving my 912 instead. Restoration was started in 1974 only to be curtailed suddenly by the death of my restoration tech. Pulled from storage in 2013 to finish the job. Incidentally Tom Cotter wrote a chapter about this car in his 50 Shades of Rust book page 111. M.Elliott

You got it. I'll post that one on the Stoddard site on Monday. What are the pans and longitudinals like? does it run? turn over? Quite a project…

Where are you located? Have a shop picked out or are you going to do the work yourself?
