If you have some how to's for the How To section of AstroSafariVans.com, now is the time to get them ready. I'm hoping to have the new section ready to go in the next few days to be ready for those informative articles!

Access to post articles will be username/password like the members galleries, but it will be open to all to read.

I can see the headlines now. "How to stuff a big block into an AstroFari in three easy steps....." LOLOL

I know it is a pretty straightforward thing, but for beginners a how to change your plugs/cap/rotor might be good. I should have taken pic while I was doing mine, except it was freezing cold and I was frustrated

Good idea Jim. I will be tuning my baby up soon. I've read up on it quite a bit, but pictures are always more helpful.
Can't wait to see the new section Justice.

A small preview while I'm still tweaking the interface....

Its an newer version of the software that is running the Members Galleries, but its running in a database and as you can see on the front page, it will be searchable.

Once this is up and going, I will start working on the Chat [-o<

Looks good, I like how you can have an explanation beside the thumbnail and then click the pic for an enlargement, the search feature is also an excellent idea, nice work Dow

I was thinking other very basic how-tos would be good. I have seen a bunch of questions about things like how-to get the dog house off, how to open the dash to put a new stereo in, and the like) They are pretty basic, but when one first gets a safariastro, they seem very hard to understand. I know figuring out these things was a challenge to me at first. If the weather was better here I would do a couple with pics, but not in the cold, snow, and ice we are having right now. #-o

We're all in a bit of a deep freeze for awhile Jim, so for now
why don't you make a list of H2s (How to's ) and then when the weather breaks, grab your camera and start snappin some pics

In the meantime ,make sure to pm Justice and ask him to sign you up for the H2s forum
