    Technologically Challenged

    Hello, Glen from Manitoba, Canada. New member. Tad chilly today -28/-40 windchill. Performing a full frame off, resto mod, myself, as a retirement project. I bought it Dec 12, 1971 and has been with me since. It was a driver thru high school and early work years. It was a tow vehicle when I raced dirt. Was a week-end drag racer for several years. Got it's first frame off 1975-78 with little knowledge, tools and money those days. Showed it for a couple years and then it was parked for awhile. Then a sometimes driver on nice days. Hopefully have completed 2023 in a healthy, good world. I managed to attach a couple before and current pictures. Can't figure out how to shrink them though. When I previewed the post they are huge.

    Glen,

    Check out 'Light Image Resizer' software for reducing jpg file size, and/or reducing image size, of your images without significant effects on the image quality! It's available for personal use for free (although I liked it so much I bought the software after using it awhile)...

    That's a nice solid 57 and a great place to start a project. I've had my Nomad just about as long. The pics look fine to me. Welcome to the site!

    Welcome and nice car. I know exactly what you mean about the big pics when you preview the post, they come up larger in preview, sometimes so large you have to scroll left and right to see the whole pic, but when you post it, it all fits on the screen.
