Well that certainly chaps my rear. Give me some time and I'll transfer my photos to another site and upload them again. I was getting sick of photobuckets annoying pop ups anyway.

Photobucket has changed the rules on people. Now, in order to "hot link" images (link to them on other sites like BCF) you have to purchase a "plan" for $399!! What they have just done is to kill millions of photos people had linked all over the internet. This was a very poor move on their part.

You can actually upload your pictures directly to my server. Even as a non-subscriber you have plenty of storage available. Here's how: https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/showthread.php?87521-Posting-pictures-on-BCF

Thanks! The only reason I wasn't doing that before was because the images come up smaller. Photobucket just committed suicide in my opinion. Nobody is going to pay $400.00 per year, especially after the stunt they just pulled.

They are coming up small because you may not have completed the image posting process. When you first upload a picture, it gets posted as a small "thumb nail". If you don't do anything else and just save the post, people will see a thumbnail but can double click the thumbnail to view a larger version.

If you want the picture to appear larger in your post (maybe not as large as direct link to Photo bucket) but still larger than a thumbnail, all you need to do is upload the image like usual. Then, when the thumb nail is shown in your post, double click it (before you save your post). When you double click the small thumbnail, an Image settings box will pop up - just select "Centered" and "Large" then the image will appear much larger than the thumbnail.

Thanks of the input on posting photos!

Ok, floor pans are in and I tac welded the rear trunk pan and foot box repair panels in place. I have a set of clecos on order to do the rest. Now I am in a holding pattern until the rest of the superstucture is blasted.

I picked the main front and rear structures and the front and rear surrounds up from the media blasters a few weeks ago. Yesterday I removed the portions of the footboxes that had been made by the owner that did the 283 conversion back in the sixties. Afterwards, I welded the front structure to the new frame, then loosely started fitting the front surround and hood.

That's a great looking shop helper you've got there!

Thanks!. She likes to "help" by licking my face whenever I get near the ground. It's difficult to defend myself from the onslaught of slober when I have tools in both hands.

After neutralizing the blasting materials, I sprayed the underside of the front and rear surround, plus the front structure with 2 coats of SPI epoxy primer.

It's been a very long time since I worked on this car, but after selling two of my high end builds at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale this year, I'm back at working on the 54 Healey. I purchased the 2.3L Ecoboost Engine last week and went ahead and did some preliminary fitment. Overall, it fits well, but some trimming to both footboxes will be necessary in the upper inner sections.

Unfortunately, i am still having issues with photos. If you want to follow this build, search for Restocreations on Instagram or on Facebook. I simply do not have time to fight with uploading photos. Thanks and sorry.

Mustang EcoBoost engine? The Mustang owners with that engine appear to be quite happy with it, and from what I hear those cars are more nimble than the Coyote-powered 'Stangs. Should be an interesting build.
