(on pc) if you go login to your account, go to library, on the right side click the gear to the right of "SHARE LINKS" look for the section similar to below...

Links
Show these share options for all of my albums.
Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML code
HTML thumb
IMG code
IMG thumb


if you only check IMG thumb your default quick share will be clickable thumbnails, small pictures on forum but people can load the big size by clicking it. hope this helps

frame looks good, all it takes is patience and time (and my wife reminds me, money!)

Not much progress mostly parts gathering and planning but here is what I have so far
front shocks came in
and got the aluminum (3/16)for the floor and the steel (14ga)for the roof

For rear seats I am going to make it where when it's just the 3 of us I will clip a kids suspension seat in the middle and when there needs 4 I will be able to clip in 2 plastic low back seats

Your off to a great start, lots of pictures please. Your front beam is finished, your front arms are finished, and your spindles will be finished this week. Won't be too much longer and you'll have a roller.

I have not gotten much done other than planning (seat placement,decided on making a center console,and tool box placement)
I decided to go with centra rear brakes (toying with the idea of dual calipers..centra and empi on each side)
