You can't see my recent pics? I thought I had them all set. The earlier ones I need to update one at a time.

[badolds]

I can see the top two pictures in post 220, the rest are all blank. This photobucket deal sucks.

interesting - I'm using Google pics now but I wonder if it only works/shows if you use Google Chrome. Do you log on with Internet Explorer or some other browser? If so and you're able could you try logging in via Google Chrome and let me know if all the pics come up?

Thanks!

I was using Edge which is the newest internet explorer this morning at home. I am at work using chrome on an older desktop and none of the pictures are showing up here, not even post 220.

OK thanks for letting me know. I'll get all the pics added and updated at some point - such a waste of time. I guess photobucket has a point if all these other hosting sites either don't work or don't show up etc. I have a 3rd one I'm going to try but it will be a week or two until I spend time to sign up and try again. Found a guy on another site that was having the same issues and switched to one that works now. Will try that one next - can't remember what it was but apparently snapchat and google pics don't work. Just like these car projects - sometimes you have to find out what doesn't work first!!

OK 3rd img hosting site I'm trying here. This one is IMGUR - saw some others had success with this site after leaving photo bucket. If anyone can't see the pics below please let me know.

New trans tunnel for Magnum 6 speed is completed - now just need to paint and dynomat:

[Jeff70]

I see em. Looking good.

[71OLDS]

I see em. Looking good.

Thanks Jeff - hopefully Dan does too since I know he couldn't before - if so I'll start the lengthy process of moving all the pics over (for the 3rd time) and one by one try to update this entire 12 page post as well as all the others out there.

I can see the pictures. I have been busy with Hurricane Harvey here in Houston. My house is high and dry but my business got six inches of water.

Oh wow - thanks Dan - Glad to hear your house is safe but sorry about your business. Hang in there!! Thoughts are with you and everyone in the Houston area until this craziness ends.

Unfortunately - another delay - the old dynomat came up. Can't believe how bad the floors are underneath. Passenger side will have to be replaced:

Driver's side:

Passenger side:

[Jeff70]

Did the Dynamat hold the moisture?

Did the Dynamat hold the moisture?

must have - these floors were in perfect condition when the dynomat went down - it was 10 years ago but car was garage kept entire time. Street driven but rarely in rain and never in snow. Very strange.

[Jeff70]

Damn! And I recently noticed some water on my passenger floor board after I washed mine, I have no idea where it's coming from. I also have Dynamat throughout the interior.

Yeah I think that's pretty normal on our old cars - especially on convertibles like mine. One strange spot that may be your issue actually comes through the cowl, leaks down the passenger side kick panel area, and ends up on the floor board. This could be happening every time you wash the car or drive in rain. That's probably what happened with mine too. I had no idea Dynamat trapped water = rust multiplier but maybe that's the case. Not sure what to do about this other than tearing up and replacing the dynamat every other year or so - especially in that passenger side area. Keep in mind as I mentioned what you see represents about 10 years of that dynamat never coming up. Have to have that metal replaced on the passenger side, clean up the drivers side, then POR15 everything, paint, then dynamat and re-carpet. Of course if you can find a way to stop the cowl leak that would be huge. It starts just behind the hood then works its way inside the car. I'm not sure why or the best way to fix this but maybe others have some suggestions.

Holy moly! 1 more thing to be concerned with.

Finally getting started on the chromoly roll bar

[71OLDS]

Looks ugly right now but making good progress on the shoulder harness belt set up/door bar connector. Once it's all completed will have all the interior work done around the bar and shoulder harness by a professional so it doesn't look like a$$ but for now just worried about getting it all done correctly and in the right locations so everything works as it should.





this was my mock up we are trying to match:



got my idea for the set up from this mustang:

[badolds]

Getting it done, looks good. That sucks about the rust on the floorboards. The fun never ends.
