For reference , there a number of photos of wooden bucks there were supposedly originally used to hammer out aluminium skins for these bodies.

Lots of cool historical car stuff on this thread, but as a woodworker I find these wooden bucks even more compelling as pieces of art than the (gorgeous) auto body that was hammered out on top of them!

File > Import...

In the dialog choose 'All supported image type' in the file type dropdown

Check 'Use as texture' and pick your image to use, click open

Glad I could help.

I understand what you say about the text not matching so I played round with changing them so they matched, and after non-working numerous iterations,
it finally worked!

its now

home = File.expand_path "~"
myrubyscripts = File.join home, "MyRubyScripts"
require_all(myrubyscripts)

I think it worked because I eventually removed the spaces around (myrubyscripts)?

thanks for your help Jim

may this be of assistance to other Mac users.
