Thanks...I just learned how to post pics instead of bothering Bruce,now I'm outta control! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The Chevelle wheels are 18x8 (4" b/s).Not ideal backspacing I know,I bought them cheap off a friend who mis-measured for his '69 Z/28.

Here's my last car:

I think the photobucket has made posting video as easy as stills. this should be a click and play. sorry you cant smell the 104. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

from photo bucket; "Bandwidth is used when digital content is viewed from a link you have posted on another website or in an email (e.g. Yenko.net, eBay, message boards, etc.). Bandwidth is a measure of the number of bytes passed over time via direct linking. It is calculated by adding up the size of each of your images or videos as they are sent from Photobucket. The 'Monthly Bandwidth' number is the amount of bandwidth you have used within the last month. The month is determined by the day of the month you registered your account.

Bandwidth usage is unmetered for Pro accounts. The current usage number for Pro accounts is displayed in your Account Options just to give an idea of your current usage level. Free accounts are allowed 10 GB of bandwidth per month. This is hundreds of thousands of images viewed via direct links and resets each month on the day you registered."

I believe it will reset to zero after 30 days. you can also have a second photo bucket account if you believe your posted videos/prints will be getting an enormous amount of hits.

when in doubt, ask Bruce? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

John...I have a pro account. I learned the hard way when I was using my free account and I posted the pictures from B-J two years ago. I only had about 100 pictures up...but I got so many hits from this site that it exceeded the bandwidth for the month in less than 6 hours.

Chris is right...the bandwith will reset every month...but if you exceed your bandwidth...no one will be able to see ANY of your pics. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

So I went Pro...it's $25 a year.
