Hello all! My name is Ted. I'm new to the turbo Mopar community. You may have seen a few of my posts. This is where I will be documenting my work on my recent purchase, a 1990 Dodge Shadow, built by Chuck, forum name Swart.
A little about me. I'm a behavior specialist for a county office of education in northern California. I mainly design plans to deal with behavior problems, but I also assist with teaching strategies. All the kids I work with have severe developmental delays. As you can see, I don't have a technical, electrical or mechanical background.
I've always loved cars though. Since my first car, I have been trying to learn and get as much experience as possible. My parents were never supportive of this, and I've never really owned performance cars. I do a lot of my own repairs, and have a pretty solid understanding of how a car works.
I bought this car to bring myself to the next level. I am going to make mistakes. I am going to break things. I am going to be asking a lot of questions as I prepare for projects. I can't wait.
I got a great car, with a solid setup in place, ready for me to begin tinkering around. I won't have to worry about things breaking due to old age, or excessive miles...
All that said, this first post will be used to maintain a record of my current specifications. I have a stack of all build receipts, which I will be going through soon, and updating the specifics of the car.

Question one, to upload images from the laptop do I have to upload them to a website?
Any recommendations?
