Project swiss cheese

[ionracer24]

ok guys, i started on my project and i have a ton of pics ....where are they u might ask.....well no matter what camera i use whether it be a cell phone or my canon etc...the dam things come out 900 kb or larger a piece!!!!  what can i do to post them?

I use Photobucket. It's a great photo hosting program. All you have to do is sign up, upload the pictures and then post the [IMG] code in your post.

[jeryst]

Just download a free photo editor from the net. Most of them allow you to change the size and resolution
of your photographs, which determines the size.

Whenever I adjust the size of one of my pics, I just add "LR" to the end of the file name,
so that I know it is the low resolution version of the picture.

A good place to find a program like that is www.snapfiles.com
Just look under freeware and type in photo editor.

I just open the file in "paint" then click image, then stretch/skew, and change the aspect to 50% in both horozontal and vertical. Voila! the photo is half as big as it was! Still not small enough? Try shrinking it 80% the second time! Eventually it will be the size you want!

Sweet!  i will try that and hopefully get the ball rollin,  now that its finally kinda sorta warming up i'm getting motivated to get my a$$ in gear. Btw its a 70 se 383 727 tranny car although the engine is mia from the previous owner so i'll have to find a replacement though the bb mopars are extremely few and far between in this part of texas....

[ionracer24]

ok so here is the first try, if this works i'll post lots more

[ionracer24]

more lower rocker panel drivers side

upper door hinge area, should i just weld this up??

more also of drivers door area, i dont want to replace this whole piece so i'd like just to weld it up

[ionracer24]

wow, talk about dejavu.....thanx thunder

[ionracer24]

ok, so how do u "weld" (and i use the term weld, loosely) the quarter skin on before u put the outter wheel well on?    

roof rot also 

[lexxman]

Ah you don't.You could weld it to the rocker and trunk ext,but I think I would wait till I had the wheel well.Because you don't know how well they'll fit together and the replacement part are not always the same as what you took off. And you'll need the play in the rocker to put the wheel well in place .

[chargerman67]

keep posting the progress...

[Finn]

In case you didnt know, roseville moparts offers a discounts to dodgecharger members. That's where I got my AMD fender from. See this link:

You've got balls for taking on this project! Good luck, cant wait to see more progress pics.

my thoughts exactly, this was done before i got the car so i was trying to be sarcastic but i guess it dint work lol

[ionracer24]

thanx fin, i always wanted a 68-70 charger, i just couldnt afford to pay 20-30 thousand for a car in good running order that has been restored or partialy restored so i figured might as well start from the bottom and know that all the work was done correctly and not have a charger with  hidden issues.....

[ionracer24]

took some new pics today sorry for the quality, had to use my other  celly hehe
