Trying to post pics of my van

I'm trying to post pics. Sorry if I dont get it right

Hey it worked. Ok, this is my '62 Econoline van I just bought and am working on. Yes thats the same van just different colors on each side. It has a 200 motor, three on the tree and thats about it. Runnin, driving but bare... for now.

Why are my pics getting cut off?

Congrats!

The pics may be too large.

When you bring in the pics, change the pixel settings in the drop down box from the default 800 pixels to 640, that should take care of the cutting off. Nice Ride!

Nice! Looks like a "Van of many colors".

Congratulations! That's a good looking van. Looks good and straight for the most part. Better than mine. The front end lines look very crisp, and in general. Same problems they all have in the rear quarters. They catch all the crap off the road. That's not a rust hole in the front passengers fender is it? One thing that's interesting to me is that lower body seam on the drivers side along the rocker. My 64 doesn't have that, just the one above it

Congrats on the van and welcome to the forum!

That spot on the passenger fender is just where the paint chipped off, I'll sand that down and put some primer on it.

That's what I figured. Good luck with your van!

I took my dog house (aint that what y'all call the engine cover?) to work today and ran it through the sand blaster. Came out awesome

Then, I dont remember which one of you I stole this idea from but thank you. Perfect fit and they look awesome

Doghouse looks Great...nice to have access to sandblaster! Those taillights are a nice upgrade. The chrome sets them off nicely.

A wise man knows a good idea when he "steals" one. I know what you mean. Most of the upgrades to my Epup are "stolen" or "adapted" from this forum. Looks great!

Saved and brought in at 640 pixels. Would have done it sooner but just got back from vacation in Tennessee.

Thank you Vanny. I love Tennessee

Heres a pic of my gas tank. Even the top is pin striped. I wish I would have taken pics while I had it out

Here's a stupid question for you. How do I get the grill off? Its got 5 or 6 bolts holding it on but there are nuts on the inside of a channel(?) that I cant see or get to. The bolts just spin. I only got to mess with it about 10 minutes tonite. Thanks

That can happen, they're either knurled or tacked into the channel. I think just knurled. I had one spin and had to cut the bolt, then re tack the nut to the channel to get the remainder out. Use antisieze when you put them back in and it's not a bad idea to tack weld all of the nuts when the grill is off if you are doing body work anyway.

Thank you Seth.
