[DeTomaso] Some FIA Group 3 brake questions - circa 1973

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

Steve, I will chime in here.  The list will not work well for large images.  I use smugmug.  It is a professional photo site.
Only about $40./year.  But they let you upload full resolution images and will not corrupt them.  Most (all) the free sites
will dumb down all images.  So it depends on what you would like to make available.

    I am working on getting some photo's - believe it or not we were busy
    enough that we didn't take any of our own!!! But, among the constant parade
    of people gawking, there were a few photographers that stopped by and said
    they snapped photo's during practice and qualifying.  I am waiting on
    getting some emails.
    
    Again, I am new to this process, but I have a dropbox folder that I am
    keeping of the build, beginning after Asa Jay dropped 5533 off in Portland
    last year.  I am not anxious to make it uber-public, but I would happily
    share it with the forum.  Is that allowed?
