Just below the "submit" button where you post your message there is a tab labled "Upload attachment".
Click on that and a file attatchment thing appears.
Click on "Browse..." and a window opens up to allow you to look for your image files.

Double click on the file you want and click "Add the file".

Do that as many times as you need until all the photos you want to post are attached. Then click on the usual "Submit" button. The images will appear in your post in the order that you attached them.

The only grey 71 with a 440 six pack with 'glass fenders I can think of was one built many years ago when the MMA was first formed. The car was sold to a lad that lived in Driffield, Yorkshire. But that one didn't have a black hood and was originally a slant six car. It was sometime in the mid 90s I think and the car needed a lot of work back then.

If it is the same one then the guy that built it was only a member of the MMA for the first year I think. He also threw together the Primal Scream Challenger that Wayne now ownes. He threw a few challengers together as cheaply as possible to sell so he could buy a rare 440 RT/SE he had found. The engine had been in his white '70 Vanishing Point clone fitted with Centerline 500 wheels because 15-inch Ralleys were just about impossible to find over here in these days. It was a good engine that one.

I like the look of that one. It does look like the one I am thinking of.

If I had the spare cash I wouldn't mind having that one myself. It would be perfect for what I have in mind.

It is a great looking car. I just don't think I have the energy to get it to the standard I would want. Having said that. I wouldn't mind looking at it at some point. It is a good looking car.
