Thanks Mr. E Modeler! I don't know how you got those codes as they are way too long to be useful, at least to me. I tried looking at all the different types of code used on my IMGUR page and none of them match yours for length. So my question for you is, where did you get your codes? Your codes look more like a Flickr page code. I am a Robert B. Parker fan as well. Been reading his novels for over 30 years and I have been reading his Spenser novels in order since the beginning of the year. I have read a couple of the Jesse Stone novels and I am considering getting a Sunny Randell novel soon. The codes came straight from Imgur. I click on the picture and it gives me a choice of several types of code. I had tried several including the right one, but none worked. I just need to remember to post straight to the page instead of using the add picture icon. I've read most of Robert B.'s books. To me nothing beats his Spenser series of books, but both the Jesse Stone and the Sunny Randell series are great too. I enjoy the Sunny Randell books just slightly more than the Jesse Stones though.

On IMGUR, click on the arrow in the upper right hand corner and a drop down menu will appear and click on "Get shared links" and a menu will appear with 4 codes on it. Click on the "BBCode (Forums) Copy" and your code will by copied. On the forum here, right click and select "Paste" and your code will appear in your posting. Click on "Post Quick Reply" or "Create Post" and your picture should appear. Good luck!

Okay, so now that I've figured out how to get my pics up, how about a bit of progress... So, from here on out on this build, I'm going to work on not being so wordy. I like the clean lines of '68 Dart, and to me, a true muscle car doesn't have a lot of flashy trim. So with this build, I'm building a Dart, Just a Dart with a minimum of flash, but some creature comforts. The next step was to remove the center console. To do this I used the floor section of the Hemi Dart with the back seat and package tray of the GTS. Due to my forgetting to account for blade thickness I ended up with a bit more gap than I planed for, but I realized that Im going to use flocking for the carpet and most of the floor will be covered by the chassis and driveline so I didn't sweat it and just filled in the gap with super glue.

I've also added the A/C vents and the manual trans hump to the interior... I'm pretty happy with the results.

The next step was to test fit the 340 I found that it fit fairly well, I just needed to remove the trans mount and fill the hole. I had to poke some fun at AMT and their 11 rocker arms, or is it 8 rocker arms and three out of five rocker shaft hold down bolts??? I decided to backdate the valve covers to the '68 style with the breather/filler cap instead of the twist in.. after a bit of touch up and some "aging"...

The '68 may be on the verge of a stall, due to a lack of spark plug wires and other aftermarket detail parts, But the Petty Dart is being built, Box Stock. I decided to build the Petty Dart straight out of the box so I could work on my painting, and honestly gluing, skills and not stress over other stuff. I do appreciate your tough hide though Al.

I like the way you are doing this. Stock hood is a nice detail.

Hey, Eric. Could you elaborate on that under hood insulation material a bit? I saw it advertised on a couple of vendors' websites. How realistic is it? How easy to work with, both cutting to fit and gluing to the hood? I might want to order some.

Update time, sorry no photos yet.
I've ordered all kinds of stuff to get this project moving forward. As you can see from the last update I now have ignition wire and PVC hose, this will also be my battery ground wire.
The stuff I have coming is;
R&B Motion, Spark Plug & Distributor Boots. I've always wanted to try these.
Detail Master, Under Dash Gauges and something else that I can't seem to remember or find. (Damn I'm old.)
Model Car Garage, Under Hood Insulation (and Steve, I'll be happy to fill you in as soon as I get it) and 2 colors of Carpet Material, 1 Black 1 Gold, the gold is for a future project and I'm not sure if I'm going to use the black on the Dart or try to find something close to the Teal I'm using on the exterior.
If any of you know of a carpet material that is a close match to Model Masters Acrylic Teal I'd really appreciate knowing.
