Reconstruction has begun.

OK my car is ready for some shows before the year is up. How bout you guys???

[doghows]

Ok guys me and the delivery are going to be in Belfair Saturday at the "Taste of Hood Canal" show from 10-3. Looks to be a pretty good one they have live music, food vendors, arts and crafts for the ladies and trophy's for the lucky ones. Stop by and say hi if your in the area and I'll report after I get home.

Well the show was a success. Made the drive no problem and then came home the long way down around Union and then back up the hood canal. Did a little road racing on that windy road, it was a toasty day in Belfair at about 90* but had a great time. I was the only Falcon at the show and did get a couple of ?Awards? They had some strange ideas for car classes and awards but it was fun.
Homemade ice cream, BBQ, and about 10-15000 people. Show had about 150 cars.

My wonderful iPad only allows one pic at a time so here's another.

And this last one is for Roger!

And this last one is for Roger!

That one looks a lot gooder than mine, but I'd hate to load that one up with my trash bins. Exact same paint scheme though.

Thanks for the post.

Wish I could help you on the posting thing. Doesn't make sense to me why the iPad restricts that image uploader.

Thought you might like the truck. As far as the iPad thing or any I products they identify a picture as a jpeg but they don't assign it a number like jpeg1234 so each time you upload a new picture it just IDs it as a jpeg and put the new jpeg in pace of the old jpeg.
Did that make any sence at all?? But that is how it was explained to me.

Well yeah, I bought one.

You've not mentioned, but did that kid you were mentoring live-up to the call with the '67 you bought from me? Sure wish I had that engine now...

So, are you taking these pictures and posting them as you are taking them? Or are you taking a bunch of pictures and then trying to post them later in the day or week? Whether Mac or Windows (or iOS) a file needs to be given a name. Even Mac's don't allow two of the same file name in a folder. It should be 1234.jpeg and 1235.jpeg (the file name DOT file type).

I might be able to help better if I understand how the pictures are taken and when, after that, you are trying to attach them to these posts. I have a good friend who is a Mac/iOS wizard. So can ask him if I need to. Might be worth making up a help document to help others with the same issue.

Spent a few minutes looking into this, and here's a long thread discussing it:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread...rt=15&tstart=0

Basically, it seems, the file names may be obfuscated (hidden) and you need to turn on something in the view settings - assuming you have older version of of the Photo app. You're SOL otherwise. An APPLE BUG. This above thread (16 pages and counting) deals with renaming files and apparently people renaming them in one place and then having them not show as that name in another. Whether that will apply here or not - I don't know. It seems a differentiation between exif data (all the data that explains when and how and with what settings a photo was taken; like ISO, F-stop, etc.) and that of the file system name (my_picture.jpg). Apple seems to care less about file system naming - though there is a file name. It's just not making it easy for you (or others) to see them and apparently select them, I guess.

Well quick answers to your questions: the kid has moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career in the Air Force. The truck is still here in Sequim and another good friend has taken over the care of it. He's given it the "patina" look which turned out well. He getting ready to swap over to an auto with possibly a gear vendors OD unit as he wants to tow his vintage drag boat with it.

Pictures are usually taken with the iPhone in batches. Then I try to post up later and pick which ones to use. I'll look into the naming thing cause that seems to be the issue I've been told is the culprit.

And just to keep this falcon related:

Thanks for the update. Post a pic of the new look if you ever see it driving around.

What happened to the Doghows logo on the SD?

[doghows]

The logo always seemed a little cartoony for me. I was just going to take off the winged dog part and put the word delivery under. So it would just have doghows delivery on it, but when I cleaned off part of the logo there were razor blade cut into the primer under neath it. Sooo I ended up repainting both side panels.
I'm going to leave it blank for now, I kinda like it better than what it had. Maybe I should have a contest for the best thing for the panels and give the winner some free powder coating??

Well me and the delivery just got back from a week long journey.
I took some time off and went to visit my family in Idaho, I was going to fly but had enough time so I thought why not drive it.
I left Sequim Friday morning at 3:30 am. I drove through Seattle, and then up through Snoqualmie pass across Washington into Spokane. The trip took me through the Idaho pan handle into Montana and back down into Idaho. I spent a few days at my brothers cabin in Island Park Idaho then down into Idaho Falls to visit the rest of my family.
Thursday I drove to Boise to visit my niece and hung out there for a day or two before making the trek home yesterday (Friday).
The delivery did great, she averaged 24.6 miles to the gallon!! Only cost me $200 total for fuel. Now I did have a few small casualties on the trip. In Idaho I nailed a train crossing that shattered my front wheel bearing fortunately I was only 20 miles from my brothers cabin and I nursed the car in until we could make the repairs.
After I drove into Idaho Falls I went to start the car the next morning and she fired up then died?? Found out my TFI module on the dissy went out so we popped down to the parts house and got one.
The only other issue was my wiper switch acting up and as most of you know it was raining pretty good in Seattle on Friday so a few short rain delays and I was home.
I'll post up a few pics but check Facebook for the whole skinny. Enjoy!

This is how the wheel bearing came out!

And yes there are a LOT of bugs out there on the road.
