This is the site I use for resizing my pics.
It takes some time for sure, but can usually add a couple pics at least in one post.

Oh and bummer with your previous body work.
I'd really want to "throttle" somebody if they did that to my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

In process of removing the front panel. Since it was previously replaced, it tears up the flanges that it is welded to due to them being plug welds. It's the right way to weld it on but just harder to remove. All these flanges will be rebuilt.

Michael -
So sorry to hear about your facing "do-over" work. I feel your pain. The key motivator for me to teach myself to fab was a horrid and quite expensive experience I had with a shop that totally f-ed up one of my project cars. I renamed that shop "Dream Killer Garage".

And it's interesting how the previous work done on your /6 was well documented and seemed to look quite nice in the pics. Many positive comments from others, etc.

And yet...

So hang in there. Your car is going to be another benchmark /6. Once it's complete, the joy you'll get simply looking at, let alone driving it, will surely make it all worth while.

Tygaboy - Thanks for the thoughts. Yeah, pictures don't always tell the real story, that's for sure.

Oh well, Kent is absolutely kicking butt and it will be prefect now.

Cheers,
Michael

I am going to post some pictures at some point - but I am technically challenged in reducing the picture size to add a bunch into one post. I wish we had an auto-resizer for pictures like Pelican. Maybe we could all donate to that software program for Sir Andy so we could make life easier for us old folks????

Apple or Windows ?

I'm no nerd. I use Windows.
Save jpg. to desktop. Right click. Edit, which brings up the jpg. in paint. Resize 25%. Save.

I email them to myself and choose the size when they are sent. There’s probably a better way that I just don’t know.

Over my pay grade. But I've got people (like the entire rest of the family) that use Apple. I'll ask the brain trust.
Just Super In Law and I are on Windows. I bought Super In Law a Samsung tablet a few years ago to replace the newspaper. He calls it his newspaper. LOL.

Thanks Cary. I am always willing to listen and learn. I wish we had it as easy as the Pelican site. I can load photos there with no issues at all. Have great day and tell the super-in-law I said good morning. Cheers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here's the method I use in Windows to batch resize images without installing other software.

This is coming along very nicely. It will be an awesome ride. It makes me want to spend more time on mine. It has been a really busy year at work. So I haven't had much time.

I haven't found a way other than cropping a pic. I use my camera if posting. The iPhone pic's are just too large. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

If your an Apple person it is easy. Import the pictures into photos, and then export them as a jpg in the size and detail you want. I normally use high detail and a size of large, fit very well. I save the exports into a folder called 914world, and then pull them out from there.

If I did it in original size, it would not be nice to Sir Andy. I use a point and shoot camera for the shop, the iPhone takes great pictures, but I can drop the point and shoot and not care at all.

Now back to this great restoration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

At least your car will be 100% primo. Great shop. Every detail.
