    I've always wanted a 1970-71 Ranchero. After building/restoring many cars over the years, I finally found one. Only problem (sigh) is that this one has been sitting in a field for 11-12 years with a dead engine and rusty floors. Good news is I got it for $300.
    Bought an '82 Lincoln (for $800- sold the body for $300) from a little old lady who had recently rebuilt the 302 and AOD tranny and then discovered she was too old to drive anymore and, after a bit of struggle, put the combo in the Ranchero- it lives! Now for all the little nittygriity that you guys can help me with.

    Good to be here to help and learn. Thanks much.

    By the way, how do you add photos to messages or profile? Don't know how to do it without "browse" option.

    Yes! Another 70-71! If you have a sense of humor, you'll do fine here. If you are a grumpy old man who hates change, you'll find some good friends. Even if you aren't, you'll do fine. Post more pics, please.

    How do you upload pictures? Mine are hi-res, but I can't figure the reduction process- ignorance on my part.

    At the bottom right of the reply box there is a button to upload a file. Just use that and the forum will resize them and allow people to see the full res version if they want to.

    Laters,
    Jeff
