When learning about chevelles, restoring or even admiring I think that a photos section would be really helpful and appriciated. I do not think there is a section on this site that I know of, but let me know if I'm wrong!:yes:

select "PHOTOS" then select the YEAR and then pick a catagory:
Body: then choose factory or custom
Interior: then choose factory or custom
Chassis: then choose factory or motified
Wheel/tires: then choose size 14, 15, 16 etc.
Engine: then choose factory or motifed then choose engine 350, 396, 454
Paint: then choose factory color or custom
specific detail: then choose, request specific pic or view pics

This "Photos" catagory will be a real help for restorations, ideas, specific detail or just showing off! also the person posting their picture should give some details about the picture such as wheel and tire size or purchased parts from... etc.
I look at pictures for ideas all the time on ebay and think it would be awesome if Team Chevelles could combine a "Photos" section for members to post and help out others.

Thanks and hope everyone things this would be a good thing for Team Chevelle:beers:

You get the idea - the pictures are already there for members.

I think you're idea is great, it needs organization and management, though. For example, someone needs to categorize the pics, add the appropriate search words and comments, (putting them into year categories is one way as you suggested), etc. It would be more work than you think, and someone's got to manage it.

I'd like to see more room in our showrooms for more pics - I reference pics like those above in posts, and I have to delete helpful photos to put in more recent ones.
