    Hell Yeah! Got slow at work so I pulled my 'llac up next to the shop. Two afternoons later this is what I've accomplished! I may work at one of the finest shops in the world but I don't do the metal working- This was my first real attempt to do something like this, I'm satisfied! Warped the driver's door a little, but my dad is fixn' to help me out. Should have it spot primed by noon.

    Looks good so far.
    You can shrink them in Paint by going to Image and then Stretch and Skew. Go back to File, hit Save and should knock it down a bit.

    What's the matter Mike, You said you pulled the car up NEXT to the shop????

    Your old man won't let you bring it IN or what????? Ha ha Ha

    In related news, I shaved my taint last night.;)

    I also think it is funny that you are asking how to make pics smaller.

    I thought you were coming to the HAMB drags? I guess I will pack less beer then.

    Lil' Mike,

    Try going to My Computer, find your picture in My Pictures and single left click on the file. A single left click should bring your picture up on the left side of the screen and tell you the file size. Now double left click your file again and it should bring your picture up in Microsoft Photo Editor. Go to Image and do a resize down by reducing the 100% say to 60% then save from the file menu. Exit the photo editor and single left click again to see your picture again on the left side of the screen and it's new file size. You may have to go back and reduce again using the same sequence. Chances are once you figure out how much to reduce the first picture the rest should be easy.

    Hope this helps!

    weld them holes up tight so no moisture can get behind your filler. mike

    I did. The pic of the weld job is where I warped the panel a little- I straightened it out and filled the rest of the holes. Also put POR-15 on the inside of the door where the bare metal was.
