Did you resize it for message boards when you uploaded, then click on Hot links for forums and paste the copied link into your Comet forum message?

As the others have said copy paste is easiest.
Click on share above your pic
The url hotlink to forums will get the pic up

I modded this link so the printing would come up to show you what it looks like.

I'm working on my Photo skills thanks to the video!!!
First wash.

The "factory" interior. I'm saving the original bucket seats for new upholstery.

The car was built red on white. These are the original seat bottoms.

I got the car in the shop and up on stands to remove the drivetrain.
I'm thinking I should replace the complete floorpan and install subframe connectors.

Will your frame connectors be welded all along the floor or just to the frame stubs?

Thanks for asking, I am putting the car on a rotisserie as soon as I get the drivetrain out.
I am thinking I need to replace the entire floor pan and install subframe connectors welded to the new floor.
I have been reading threads on this forum and searching relevant YouTube video for direction. I have a lot to
learn. The last unibody car I built was a 70K one owner car and if the body and paint weren't already done I would
have put subframe connectors in it as well so I get the concept. I'll know more when I get the drivetrain out so I
can properly evaluate the situation.
Also, I havent started by "Build Thread" yet but now that I have the photo thing sorted I will start one maybe this week.

There is a great thread that will teach you about everything you need to know about that 65.

Thanks for the link to Lou's build. I just finished reading all forty pages every post. Took me a couple days. I see by the thread and the responses that I am on a site with the best Comet builders on the planet. Now I have several other build threads to read as well. I feel like I'm studying advanced Comet building and I am grateful for the opportunity to read about all your builds. Thanks to all for posting and sharing.

Poboyjo also has a great build. I think it is in the 65 section as well.
Bug him for a link, I didn't find it.
I sectioned tubing into the floor and connected the sub frames to it.
