Thank you. I had to get out of the house today before I went crazy. Done some more sanding on the car. We are real close to being ready to paint.

Your image is small enough, you just have to use the img /img bbcode to display it. So long as your longest side doesn't exceed 800 pixels, you are golden.

If you click the Img button in the full editor when posting, you will get something that looks like [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] (without the spaces).

Paste your "https://scontent-b-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 5136_n.jpg" in-between the [ i m g ] and the [ / i m g ] and you get...

Well we got the msd system all mounted in the back of the car (were the back seat would be) and we got the engine back together, installed and fired up. Sounds real good. I will post a pic when I get all the decals on it.

Well the car is running pretty good. Had a fuel pressure regulator go bad at road Atlanta.
Got that replaced and changed the spark plugs.

Ok I hate to say this but I'm putting the ghia up for sell. I have bought a new racecar and I have no place to keep 2 racecars. So if any of you are interested let me.
