Good luck with your project.   I have the same model and year.  Maybe I didn't look close before, but I haven't seen too many Challengers with the turn signal indicator lights on top of the front quarters.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.  Those are the same wheels I had on my original '70 'Cuda.   :2thumbs:

There are a couple of ways to resize the photos. I've taken all my photos on my iPhone.  From the phone, I send them to myself on email, which includes an option to pick the resolution (size) of the photo.  I use the "small" setting.  I download the photos from the email into my computer and from there can pull them onto the website.  This is kind of clunky path but this way I end up with the photos on my computer instead of overfilling my phone's memory.   This is an OK route for handling a couple of pics at a time but probably not so good if you're looking to post a large batch.

Another route is to use a server-based service like photobucket, then all you have to do is post a link to the photo.

Easiest thing to do is upload to a free hosting service such as photobucket.com or flickr.com then paste IMG links here or anywhere else.  Works for email as well .
I have my account set to downsize as their uploaded so they are not so large as to be show larger than my screen
this is a link  http//i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii100/wbullitt99/smiley_joy.gif
and this is the same link in IMG format

Try downloading VSO image re-sizer, the free version.  Easy to use and lets you resize the pictures you want to down load to the site to a size that is accepted.  :2thumbs:

I use this method two. It's pretty easy. The problem with photo bucket and thee like is when a user deletes their account is also disappears from any post which can be annoying! Uploading will keep the pics on the post always.
