Hello. My name is Steve. I first off, I don't own a computer, don't know how to email, have no social media stuff, I barely got registered on here. It took me 3 days to figure it out on my phone. So forgive me for my ignorance with this interweb stuff. I don't know what I'm doing.
I have a 72 Ranchero gt that I bought around 94. It came out of the factory a baby blue but had been bubba refurbished in a white when I bought it. 351C &FMX. Over the years its been fixed up and modestly modified. Its had the body work done and re sprayed in a Lexus pearl white. Mild eng. Rebuild. Still got iron heads,nothing wild. Converted from FMX to 5speed. Switched to 73 spindles and 9in housing for the bigger bearings. 4 wheel disk brakes, Qa1 coilovers front and rear. 9in 3:55 Detroit locker. Full length headers x-pipe 2.5in. Few other things but that's basically it. Let's see how long it takes me to figure out how to get a picture on here. Its getting hard to find parts for these cars and I was looking to broaden my pool of enthusiasts. I'm a mechanic by trade so hopefully I will be of some use to the fokes on here. Thanks for having me. |

I love pearl white. My new favorite. If my new to me car was still wearing it's original baby blue the plan was to squirt it in pearl.
If I can get a baby blue formal q code 72 for the right price, it is getting done in oearl. This is assuming it is solid enough to restore. Lots of good folk here with knowledge you can't buy in a book for sure. Welcome aboard. |

Welcome to the forum Steve! I have upgraded you to a new member so you will have full access to the site and will have the ability to upload photos now. It sounds like you have a pretty nice Ranchero. I'd be interested in hearing and seeing more detail on your coil over setup.
Here is some help on how to post photos: Go to the third post down and it shows how to upload photos with a phone. It's probably easiest just to put one photo per post. Hopefully the tutorial will help you post some photos. Let us know if you need more help. Here is some basic information on those new to the site. The second post down is probably the most relevant to you now, since you have already been upgraded to a new member. |

Apparently this relationship will not include photos. Everything I try wont work and it keeps making log in each time it tells me no. No patience for tech. Sorry.

Like I said, I'm a special kind of handicapped when it comes to this. I'm gonna get one of my kids or wife to help me out. I appreciate the try to help. I've surprised myself that I got this far on my own. Just got frustrated. Thanks again, I'll get it done.

What kind of phone are you using? My instructions are with an Android phone, so their may be some differences with an Apple phone. Maybe I need to get someone with an Apple Phone to do some screen shots so I can include separate iPhone instructions.
You don't have any photos uploaded to a third part site like Photobucket or Picture trail or something? If so that might be an easier way to get them posted here.

When I click on the little tree with arrow, a warning that I don't have access to that ability. Then asks me to log in again, says I'm good to go, click little tree, warning, login again ect. Vicious cycle.

Welcome, Steve! I have an older Galaxy S4, and I cannot load pictures either. I have to default to my laptop.

Have you tried clicking the option to remain signed in automatically? Make sure you do this so you don't have to login each time. If that doesn't work, I am not sure what the issue is. I tried again with my phone and it works fine. Maybe John is correct with the older Galaxy's not working properly. My wife has an old Galaxy. I will try it out and see if it works. Otherwise, if you use photobucket or something like that, you don't have to upload the photos. You can just post them here from photobucket.
