Anyone know of a way to print out a build thread with pictures and all in one shot? I'd like to put it in a binder with everything else once I graduate.

There are screen shot apps that screen capture a webpage in it’s entirety. That’s one option. But it would be saved as an image. I know some browsers used to be able to save a webpage offline. I’m in for the night so I’ll confirm and give some specific info in the morning.

Have you tried the "Thread Tools" then "Show Printable Version" option? You can play around with the pages per sheet and have a few other options.

An app called "FireShot" does an excellent job of capturing as little or as much as you like, and saving it into whatever file configuration that you need.
You can copy and paste into a word doc. The downside is that the process is somewhat messy and you'd need to do it one forum "page" at a time.

I've been using the "Show Printable Version" for years, but I do a Copy/All and paste them into a Word Doc and save/print that. It also includes a link to the original post, in case I want to go back for reference or reach out to one of the posters. I also Copy Image and embed them into the Word doc as needed.

Maybe I am being too simple with this but I just had FFR send a link to the manual for my car then I sent it to Staples. They printed it out and put it in a binder. I had two printed so as to keep one in the garage and one in the house for me to study. I also had them blow up the wiring schematic and laminate it. That I kept with me as I wired the car.

With all due respect to and appreciation of the build wizard originator of the build thread, during the entire process of the build, week by week, I captured edwardb's Gen 3 Coupe build and put it into a Word document.
There was so much great content being created, I didn't want any chance to lose it some how to potential gremlins or Murphys of the internet.
In all, to date, the Word document is 223 MB, 851 pages and 153K characters in length.
It's helped me much more in my Gen 3 Coupe build than the FFR Manual.
Thanks Paul!!
