    Thx for the pixels, mike! Today after school I'll look into getting the new phone into service.

    I've delved into repair of the rear quarter, where someone had lopped it off with s sawzall. I've got the patch piece for the outer skin tacked in place. Looks pretty good, except it needs a little contour added. Next step is to template the inner panel. Then, I'll tack the inner panel in place. There is just no way to weld the inner panel from the back side, I'll be lucky to get it tacked in securely. So, after it is tacked in, I'll cut the tacks on the front patch and remove the front patch. Then I'll weld in the inner panel. After that, I'll massage the outer skin to final shape, and install it.

    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

    Sounds like you've got the plan in place for the quarter panel patch, start inside, get it all solid, primed and sealed, then get the pretty panel in place.

    As for the phone, and posting pictures to CHR directly, I'll just say "Good Luck with that endeavor!" I've found that it's super easy to post a picture taken with the phone to FaceBook, or to e-mail it to myself or to someone else, but to use the phone to access CHR, access the specific thread and then work through the advanced screen to manage attachments, including finding the specific photo on the phone ?? Not to rain on your parade, but Good Luck with that! The phone is a little computer, but key is "little" meaning that the active screen buttons are tiny..... I take the picture, e-mail it to myself, then save it to "My Pictures" on the computer; or connect the phone to the computer via cable to the USB port and access the phone as an external drive to move pictures to the 'puter. 'Nuff said, I hope that it works out for you, but I'm not holding my breath on this one.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
