I'm attempting to figure out what could be the problem...

Pat,
I know this may sound silly, but are the images smaller than allowed...?

Jim,
I don't know if this would help, but I noticed that clicking "New Posts" did not produce the correct results and there were some.
Not sure if that makes sense.

Tom,

I starting noticing that the other day...
I use that link regularly to get to new posts and it was saying there where No New Posts when in fact there was... I rebuilt the stats and it seemed to be accurate again...
I just got home from school, so I'll atttempt a couple of uploads tomorrow and see what's happening...

Sorry for the inconvenience...
     :blush:

Tom  I think I may go along with you on this DP deal,
 The colors look great. I will be picking it up
 Friday , The shop let the rookie paint the main
door so he can get some experience  in painting,
 he ran it on one side so their going to fix that
 and get it to me.
Well watch for more photo's to come
 Thanks
 Pat   :D

Hey Pat,
I am thinking on turning that VMC110 I got recently into a DP.
I have it completely broken down (bottle stack and all).
Now I just need to find a quality place to do the body work and paint job and
then get the rest of it to the plating companies, etc..
I have a great sample of the DP green, but curious what you used.
Did you get a color code from somebody or did you have a nice example?

Hey Tom , I had a good example, But I can get the code's  that were used
 on this . Just so you know I did not go with a pure white
 I went with a off white  .

Thanks Pat!
I'd be curious how your code differs from the one I get.
I don't think I will not be using any white on mine.

Man that is gonna look killer!... Was wondering about the White myself...
I have that 7up junior and I don't want to go bright white... Thinking
of doing it a antique or off white and instead of red I'm thinking a
“almost red” type of orange that 7up uses. We'll see.
Keep us posted on this... Look'n good!

Ok this is going to sound real bad . Last night when I had everything
laid out and it is all taged and labled , I looked at all of this
and I was thinking I wish I taken some photo's  of some of this mess.
you know when it was at on the machine .  I have no problem work on a cavalier or a vendo  But this Selectivend  :O   I don't know.
OH yeah I still have a  :censored:  load of chrome and nickel parts to come
in yet.   :O  :O  
Oh I will get through this  just wish I had taken some photo's
 that all.
Pat  :O

You'd like a dupont Cameo White, (for a 55 Chevy) it's a nice off-white that's not to "cold-stark-white"
