Re: SCORED today!

manimal, just open the pictures up in paint, click on image, stretch/skew and chenge the 100% in the two top boxes to 50%. then try. if that dont work try a smaller number than 50%, but , it is going to shrink by % from the one you previously did. then do a save as and select jpg for save as type. hope it works for you.

Lance,

Aside from a maximum size limit (width of 642), images posts also have maximum filesize limit of 100 kB. If you still have trouble with what 'Slug' posted, send me a PM and I'll reply back with my email address. I'll shrink them down for, say no less than 500 bones ... (or maybe some of those Smokey Bones BBQ.)
Just Kidding...

Re: SCORED today!

Jeff, again Thank You.
Right now my plans are(have already begun)to "FIX" the PO's wiring nightmare. I hate it when people start "ADDING" things and making 4,5 or even 6 spices in a 2ft piece of wire---ALL DIFFERENT COLORS!
It has been sitting for about a year,so I have to run alot of gass through it. It runs very good. Also just pulled all the interoir out and I'm gonna replace it statring this week. Has some real strange pattern on the seat under the homemade cover. I will try to get a pic of it. Thanks

Re: SCORED today!

Generally, I'm not a fan of lowered trucks, but that was my first thought.

Re: SCORED today!

go for it, lower it and paint it flat black, get some stainless wheel simulators and keep the red interior. if you dont like that idea, just drag it down here to setx and hand me the keys

Re: SCORED today!

How cool is that! Great deal.
I think flat back and lowered with a big BBQ grille behind it would be a great look!!
