Re: The Complete Process Of My Wheel Detailing

I can't wait to see pics ofthe finished car! Doc, this should be a real looker!! 
You can't upload pics to a website with WebTV can you? If you have pics send them to me via US Mail and I'll make an album for you on the List picture site (http://groups.msn.com/amcsforever2). I know the site doesn't say it was created for AMC-List pics now, the original site was abandoned by the creator and he couldn't be found, so someone opened up another. "We" still use it though. There is a message board for the group, but it's little used as you'll see. The current owner knows the List uses it as a picture site, and I'm an assistant operator (so it won't get abandoned again!).
