If someone could give me instructions on how to do slide shows on you tube with music in the background, I think I can put together a real good video. Not just a video of my stuff, but of everyone's, I have been collecting pics for couple years now from people on the forum.. :think:

Paul- If you want to make a slide show most computers come with Windows Movie Maker. It is very easy to use. You simply drag pictures into the screen, and drop them into the boxes on the bottom of the screen. Then to add music, you simply drag in a music file, and it automatically drops into place. It is very easy!

Now for the bad news and possibly the end of this project if I cant find help and resources and no HOF ride...I took off the Y-pipe and have here to get blasted and painted. Well I looked at the cylinders through the exhaust ports and it looks like I may have sucked something up into the PTO jug, it is scored very, very badly. I need 2 cylinders and that is going to be a major problem...I dont have any extra's that are good and $250.00 per jug for chrome was not budgeted in as well as new pistons and rings.... :cry:

Hey Danzig, sled looks great. Wish I had more time to do mine. As for a cylinder, I have a parts machine in the shed that might have a good cylinder if you need. Let me know.

No problem Paul, glad I could help out. I dropped that bag off at Brians in Sept, and I thought I shipped slow, LOL! Brian, thanks for getting the 'gift bag' to Paul.

Good luck with your sled, and holler if you can't find a jug. I "might" be able to dig up a used if needed...

Paul,

I'm thinking the A-1 show is this weekend in MI. I'm guessing Rich is busy with his booth and display. May not hear from him until Monday.
