Yes, welcome.  It is good that you have more than one Eagle, one can't have too many. This is the best place for everything Eagle, and you are in good company.  Agreed, please post photos. Also your progress on the car(s)......Rich

Anyone know how to make my attachments work? It keeps saying my file is too large. Is it because I'm doing three photos on one?

All three run. My sx4 is on blocks for the tlc it needs but runs well and hopefully I will have her road ready soon my dads 86 wagon is in excellent condition and the black 83 wagon needs a lot and a t-case. So let me know what you think thanks!
