New Member with Completed S10 Xtreme

Hey everyone, Im a new member but I have been reading the boards for a while now. I just recently completed my dream truck lol. I took the Xtreme S10 by AMT and made it how I will make my Xtreme. I added some larger wheel but to fit them I add to change the front and rear suspension parts. I also shaved the thrid brake light. The major iteam I did was add a Chevy 427 engine. I know that my real truck my never have a 427 but thats my models are so much cooler lol. Anyways here it is, its about 99% done. I just need to paint the front side lights and add the headlights. And I may paint on the window trim if I feel like it, Im starting a new model so I probaly wont paint them anytime soon. Tell me what you think, the paints not perfect but I really like how this truck turned out. lol Ok so i have the pictures saved on my comouter but how do I post them into the thread? lol sorry I new.

Welcome to AF!

As I'm sure others will be quick to point out, posting pics is covered in the FAQ. To make a long story short, when you sign on to AF, you're alotted a space for uploading and displaying images. Up at the top of the screen, next to Home, click Gallery. Then click my images, and you can upload there. Once they're uploaded, you copy and paste their addresses in your post.

welcome to AF! i would very much like to see your truck model.

upload the image to the internet(some sites don't allow you to post pics on forums and such, i use Photobucket(kinda slow, but oh well), and you also have space in your gallery). to add it to the thread just type copyandpasteimageurlhere. i'm pretty sure that's it.

Welcome to AF John! Hope your truck is a nice as you described it.

Heres the pics, I hope they work :uhoh: I have a couple questions as long as im posting, Im new to building custom models and i was wondering if some could give me website to where i can get parts like wheels, interior pieces and stuff like that. Also anyone have a good link where i can read about making my own parts. I seen that some of you guys can make your own stuff and I would like to know more about that. Thanks for looking at my stuff. Heres a link to my gallery, I cant seem to figure out how to post directly to the post but o well.My gallery (http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=48101&password=&sort=1&size=medium&cat=500&page=1)
