It's better than too much time and no work :) Sooner or later I'll come over and visit you - to see what you are doing.

361 - yeah, I guess I'm doing a good job. Just keep watching the posts for the next weeks.

Stefan and John,

I am loving all these pictures :D

Are their plans or buyers for all the Desotos or does that come later after some restoration? I know the Christine parts car has to come first to keep the $$$'s coming in.

I am getting a real education on rebuilding a 361. I am glad you both (as well as others on this forum) are taking the time to post pictures of active projects.

Thanks Again,
Curt

Because to post a reply, you have to log in -- and you have to be logged in, to see pictures.

There's a little checkbox where you log in, that says "Log me on automatically each visit". If you check that when you log in, you'll automatically log in each time you visit the website from the same computer. You can always tell if you're logged in or not, by looking in the upper right hand corner. Right now, mine says "Log out [Faulkner]". That means I'm currently logged in. If it says (to) "log in", you are currently logged out.

Capiche?

Dan

P.S. John -- what a freakin' motherlode!

Dan thanks,
it must be a cookie issue, It won't remember me and just now I had to log in 3 times, each time I checked the remember me box.
I will delete the cookies..

John,
Sorry about stealing your thread..
