After you've located the files you want to upload, make sure you select from the drop down menu (located just to the right of Image resize text) "Do not resize" before you click on the UPLOAD NOW button.

After the pix are uploaded, a new web page will appear; on that page you will see on the bottom right of your screen just below "Get links and Codes for All Images" your links to your photos. Using your mouse, left-click the box once to highlight the links, then right-click and choose copy from the menu that opens; then paste into your message. After that, highlight, copy and paste each individual URL each photo into yellow "Insert Image" icon in the toolbar and it'll appear in your message.

Believe me, the process is a lot easier than it sounds. If you know how to powershift a four-speed, you can do this. You do know how to powershift, don't ya?

If you need more help with this process just ask.

Unfotunately these pics were sent to me via email at about 6 K each. That's as big as they get. Sorry dude!!! At the time I recieved them I was on dial up so I requested small files. Unless you know how to enlarge, but they're going to be grainy.

ps Nope, never powershifted before

I think it would be helpful if Mark J piped in here to fill us in on the sequence of Vins for the various runs built of these cars.

This is Wild Fires first paint. It was repainted later in the year to red & silver

Now as far as the Sequence numbers go that marfen and yourself stated, that is correct, but you still need a VIN # or half of the VIN number, (the last six digits) to make some sort of 68 B029 & L023 Hemi List, right...this is where the confusion starts when people make their own little lists or take other peoples word for it on this subject.

Also I won't get into listing everyone's VIN numbers on here, but will try to just talk about the early ones, and yes Dan Morgan's 68 Hemi Dart (297858) was thought to be the earliest know L023 VIN # or sequence # that was listed in the old NHOA club newsletters that Pete Haldiman printed back in the early 90's...That is until the Gene Snow 68 Hemi Dart (297857) showed up with a VIN # or Sequence # one digit lower.

Now if everyone starts from that first know VIN # or Sequence # will that make any B029 & L023 Hemi List correct, no...That will only happen until someone can determine the very first L023 car built...

And just to throw a wrench into the mix I have a VIN # that's even lower or Sequence # that is even lower (297833), so now what? Does this mean that there were other 68 Hemi Darts built earlier? or was this just some sort of "one off mule car" before production of these started?, or were there actually more built after this earliest one known? So you see it will be very difficult to nail down an exact number on these cars, or should I say my car is number # so & so?

My intent was not to confuse the numbering on the cars, rather I was trying to keep my serial number away from this public forum, but my hand has been forced to clear this up.
I am not a numbers guy when it comes to who has, or had certain cars & where they place on the serial number list. I am going by the first KNOWN & DOCUMENTED car which WAS Morgans car. I could really care less if my car is the #7 ( now the #8 known car) or the #47 car, I just want to find it's history prior to 1982.
You have added a great deal of info to this thread, & I really appreciate it. Thankyou
Now can we get back to the reason I posted this thread.
Here's another shot of the Wild Fire. Sorry for the poor quality.

PS How can you verify that 297833 car. Have you seen it?
