Whatever is easiest and most useful, fellas... I dont have them copyrighted, nor do I feel the need unless someone could suggest how they might be abused... my comment about 'member in good standing' was more a narcissistic thought toward exclusive value to VTCI members, but then Jim shares his pics openly and mine are no where near as instructional...

Cheers... Brian

Sounds good to me. You will receive full credit for the photos on the page, of course. If you want to send me the CD, Nort, I will waste no time in getting it up on "Brian's '63 Page".

Will get them out tomorrow.
I also ran copies of the assembly pictures of my Landau. Might be good to post them as well if you have the space. I have a ton of pictures as it went together.

This is too cool, my '63 was in a lot of disarray and I could definitely use some detailed pics to reassemble her.

I've got lots of room, Norton. Send anything you've got.

Could of sworn that I posted that link, but I don't see it here. Norton's dash pictures are also there:

Hi, I know it’s a decade later now I just saw your post. I’m a little slow but I’m in the same position of removing the dash they’ll update the lights and voltage regulator from 6 V down off the 12 V system for the instruments if you can direct me to the proper length, that would be great the links that are posted right now you don’t want to go there they’re not the proper length it’s not good. With that being said, any help pictures documentation notes how to get the dash lights replaced would be a great help

You are welcome to PM me I’m happy to pay postage whatever it takes maybe you can put them on a thumb drive and CD are kind of out now. Please let me know what works for you. I have a 62 Roadster and I also wanna verify my wiper motor is working correctly while I’m in there

I am a member and I’m in good standing as always all help is appreciated. Thank you, Michael.

Try this. Not the pics you are asking for but it was very useful when I was doing my dash. https://tbird-dash.carswithfins.com
