        To all who have been reading this thread:

        As of a couple days ago, without notice, Photobucket decided to cut-off it's 3rd party image hosting unless you subscribe for $39.95 per month. Thus, all of the embedded images in this thread will no longer automatically appear. The photos can still be seen, but you will have to right-click on each individual photo and open them in a separate window. I need to figure out how to migrate all of this to another site, as I have no intention of paying over $400 per year and Photobucket can go eat a buffet of dic*$...

        So frustrated right now...

          Yes Photobucket is f***ked. Use Flickr, far superior. The only way to move the photo's over though is to download them to your hard drive and them upload them to Flickr and replace the Photobucket pictures.

            Oh, and for even more bad news, right clicking on any of your photo's does not bring them up to be seen. Weather you bring them up in a new tab or new window still does not show the picture.

              I'm ffing irate right now - I've been on photobucket for 10+ years and had no warning of this BS. The migration of this thread to another service will take a very long time...

                  Pretty sure Photobucket has slit their own throat. I pulled all my photos and deleted them. Imageshack seems to be ok and charges about $20 a year for unlimited storage/hosting. Looking forward to the images returning.

                    Slow but sure I am working on it - everything has gone to Flickr...

                    As of 7/30/2017, everything up to and including page 14 has been migrated to Flickr

                        It does not go unappreciated. I reference your thread here often for inspiration in my own build.

                            Thanks for the effort in swapping out all the pics. I'm sure Ian and I aren't the only ones who refer to this thread for inspiration and reference. It's been especialy helpful for me with reassembly, since you took such detailed pics of everything.

                            I had a hard drive get wiped and I had been slacking on backing up, so I lost a bunch of my "this is how this goes together" pictures I took when taking everything apart...

                              To all: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

                              Sorry I have been MIA for the past few months - a combination of busy at work and laziness on the weekends. The goal this new year is to finish all of the picture updates, 1 page per day until everything is done.

                              Everything up to and including page 27 is updated.

                                How much did it cost you to get the wheels powdercoated? Still happy with the result?

                                Thanks!
