Good source of images for vintage cars right here. Copy and pastable, too.

Well my take on them. Don't know how accurate they are. There wont be anymore going in there because I'm not going to pay the 400 dollar ransom to post from there.

And fighting through the ads on Photobucket is not a pleasant experience.

Thanks Bangorboy for the heads-up on this resource. I found lots of great pics and how-to's on building selected models. I will be grazing through this collection picking what I can from it before Texwardfan decides its too expensive to keep it going.

To everyone else, I agree Photobucket is far too expensive now and it seems they have purposely priced themselves out of a majority of their market. Perhaps they are going after a different demographic, who knows. The sad thing is those who trusted this service and the internet with their photo archive and didn't back up their files on an external hard drive or some other local off-internet method have learned a hard lesson. Trust no one. (I think that was an old X-Files episode LOL!)

To answer the question "Who are you going to use", well there's still Flickr and Fotki. I've been using Fotki for some time now and have never had any issues, plus they're dirt cheap. You can buy a 1-year subscription for around $16... that's for the whole year. Most people piss away 3-times that amount on fancy froo-froo coffee every week! Rolling Eyes

Flickr is free... Even better! Not sure how it compares to Fotki; never used the service but I haven't heard anything negative about it. So give Flickr a try. What's to lose? (Back up your pics first though!)

I know people really loved Photobucket, a lot, and now people feel like their lover has turned into a high-priced prostitute. I get it, she'll still give you what you want, but now its going to cost way more than a dinner and a movie! So my take on that is if someone wants to share the benefits of their call-girl and it doesn't cost me anything, I'm good with that. Think about it, you're still getting the benefit without any of the cost. Very Happy
Just sayin'... Laughing

PS: [Edit] Just saw one of our Board Moderators using a service called postimage.org says he's been using it for a year or so. Best part: its free!
