So is this the best I can do for picture hosting for less than $400 a year?

Kentlik I have had good luck with Flickr lately. Unfortunately it won't help with the older photos unless you redo them all.

Thanks for the tip! My son said I would have to replace each and every pic so going to leave them as dead links and move forward with Flickr I guess..."Imgur" was one my son just told me about

I'm on the free plan. Do they still offer that?

Free plan with Photobucket or Flickr?

Upon further examination of the website, Photobucket, you can host pictures for as low as
$6.00 a month. That is reasonable. They sent me the link for the $400 deal as if it were my only choice. After a few post on the thread, I figured there must be a better deal.

Got some riveting done finally! Had to pay my son to get him off the computer to do it. He is reasonably priced













Not much, but a step in the right direction...

Just about done with the left side and just short of a few rivets...I feel like once I get the firewall set and the forward bottom on I can flip it over and start making real head way.

Had some real trials with this stage...lots of tweaking to get her neat and tidy. I had inexplicably forgotten to dimple about a dozen #4 holes! Realized this after the skin was firmly installed on the fuse...
Had to use some pretty creative processes to get them half good...

You can see the string of #4's on the angle moving toward the firewall are pretty fuglly. Lesson learned.

I have a few update pics. Had a vacation and came back, flew a few times on my new Private pilot ticket, awesome and trying to get this bad boy put together correctly. Takes a bit more time when you have to make careful extraction then installation of rivets. Some have gone up to -4's. Not many and the one side skin I saved fit really well at the firewall, almost perfect! Had to add multiple clamps to get it held firm for riveting.

So, I finally got my son Reid to get back in the garage to rivet.
He is not into it...so I have to pay him a little to get him out there. I think he is a bit intimidated at times more than lazy.
See pictures of the progress...




















See if this works to show pics
