What is fun is seeing someone try to get a fingernail under the edge of your new flame paint job to see if it's a decal. B!TC#

If you don't want smudges or scratches don't drive it or park it in public spaces.   These things are bound to happen...or have the option of admiring your perfect paint job from the safety of your garage.   Taking up two parking spaces is just an invitation for someone to ding with an opening door.

Had a job at about 18 where that was done on purpose. After you made a hole with the paint you stuck a compressor nozzle to it, pulled the trigger and lifted the paint all at once. Then the next photos were taken of the same car with a different color paint.

you have to promise you can return them to me smudge free.

That means no rubbing them with your penis... :P

no promises

I like touching really smooth/shiny things, can't help it.  I do know about the no touchy on the light bulbs.  The grease from your fingers will make a hot spot and shorten the life of the bulb.  Not a big deal with a $2 house bulb, but a $800 microscope bulb causes you to try a little harder  :P

 Ok My wife just took picture of pictures of the Camaro on her android 8mp phone.
She tried to upload them to this thread without success.
 The only thing I can think of at this point is that is that one of you guys can pm me your email,she sends them to you and you post them.Or explain how we can pull this off.

cant post 8mp direct to the site. you will either have to use a lower resolution or make a photobucket acct and post a link. Too much work.

Since it looks like you plan on being here for a while, a photobucket account would be a smart idea.  There is a gallery here that you can upload to as well (also linked at the top of the page) - http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?action=gallery

 Sounds good Crush, and thank you I will see if I can get her to send them to you.
 When we uploaded the pics to the computer they didn't look that good but I wasn't expecting much.
 one of the pictures is of just the car,one is with my mom in the passenger seat,one is with my step dad about to get into the car,one is with me leaning against the front of the car,and one is taken by me from the back seat.
 All of these pics were taken in 1994 I was 31 then.

I'm (sarcastically) calling you out because of the "pics or it didn't happen" quip that got under Keys skin earlier in the thread. I personally thought it was funny, but I've also seen you post that line on many of the threads, so I knew your take on the believability of his claim.

As far as where he is...no idea; maybe he has found his keys?? I told him I'd downsize the pics for him and post them up for all to see.

Crush- yeah, you been around long enough to see that a lot of us use that line "pics or it didn't happen".  It can catch the newbys off guard and get all defensive, just like it did to keys....funny!
Bottom line, we love to see pics! Or it didn't happen.
