Looks like the 'puter is working just fine!!  The pics were alittle large though so I adjusted them for our dial-up members.  Looks like you are making some good progress! 

[360 'CUDA]

Right!!

Isn't making all those plug welds fun?

Good job

First off, thanks 4C for the "significant shrinkage" of those pics(ha,ha). I gave up trying earlier.

BUELLER,
   What are your plans with the car? I'm sure NZ will love to see these pics. Any thoughts about a Vanishing Point clone?

Looks like progress is your middle name. As Mike said, what are your plans? Color? Drivetrain? Is it a number car? etc.........

Thanks for the kind words guys,and sorry about the large size of the pictures.Guess that's the next lesson on the 'puter.I plan on color being a b5 or b7.As far as the drivetrain goes I have a 9.75:1 440 w/je pistons,mp .528 cam,harland sharp rockers,ported 906's,3000 stall,new 3.91 sure-grip.moser axles,and am in the middle of painting some steel wheel for my dog dishes.The guy I bought it from had got it out of a field w/out motor,trans,or fender tag.It's an R/T car that came with a 383,but I had the 440 from a GTX I sold a while ago.Still have a long way to go but I only paid $2600 for it.I'm going to try and get it ready for the road by next summer and work all the bugs out of it and start thinking about paint for it.Also I just reaired some rust around the back glass area.Hey 360,making the plugs isn't bad,it's the grinding that sucks!


P.S. Any advice on fixing the picture size is appreciated.

Thanks,Matt!

Sounds like a nice car, you'll be pushing to get her done by summer next year but it is possible!

To adjust you photo sizes. Go to your photos, right click on the photo you wish to re-size and go to [Open With...] hold it on that and you'll see some photo options eg: Microsoft Office Picture Manager etc go there and click up the top on [Picture] You'll see Crop and re-size.

Re-size - 750pxls x 750pxls is the perfect size IMO.
Crop - That removes all the border stuff eg:  Trees, your house, so you can shrink it and only view the car.


Hope that helps some what. Just have a play around you'll soon get the idea. :-)

It will take some time but I'm a mechanic by trade so the body work will be the only stumbling block for me.

[Carlwalski]

Great trade to have up your sleeve in this hobby! :-)

What will the interior color be?  B5-Blue?

[Bueller1]

Kinda leaning towards black as I have a very nice original 70 dash pad on my shelf right now.

[Bueller1]

Let's see if I can resize some pics!

[Carlwalski]

Bravo!! Well done! You've mastered the art of posting photos. :-)

Black interior, can't beat it! (White is also cool) has white crossed your mind?

[Tropicalcats]

Nice looking car. Man I just love to see progress being made.

[Bueller1]

Hey Nz,white hasn't crossed my mind,but it might when time gets closer to do the interior.I'll look for some more pictures I have around and I'll try and post them in the next few days.Right now I have a dinner date with my lovely wife,the one who found the car for me,I'll talk to you guys later.Oh yeah.thanks tropicalcats!

[Carlwalski]

Enjoy your dinner mate.


In the mean time I'll try and find you some nice B5-Blue 70 Challengers with different stripe and interior options.
