Damn man, I was like WTF!? He rolled his 7? rolling an FB would be quite a feat in itself anyways! So i figure at least. Looks like your getting some progress. I like how the steering wheel is still in there.

That looks like a jig they use when the uni-body is going to be acid dipped.

Re: I Rolled the Rx7....

Anyone have a clue why in SlimBrowser and in Mozilla 1.5, his pics do not show?

SB just shows a box with a rex X in it and Mozilla show nothing.

Oh ok. I've been experimenting with a small black and white CCD TV camera. I can use Snappy to save the pics on my garage PC.

If you can scan the negatives, film cameras take great pics.
