Title: Help with skirts (!)
Post by: Fr Mike on January 25, 2007, 08:23:51 PM
Please! How were fender skirts attached to the fenders on a '36 Plymouth? Surely somebody knows! See attached photo.

I will be pleased to share about 1938 skirts (fender shields).  I cannot find your image.

Thanks for your reply! I have tried in vain to download photos to the Forum. So, I emailed a photo.

Dear Fr Mike, this week I put the foto hints on this forum, but I don?t remember on which post.
So, here again:

Above the last entry of a post You find the icon ?reply?.
It brings You to the reply window, where You find ?Additional options ? at the bottom.
Now two rows open to put Your picture?s file link in.  Usually 150-200 KB size will be accepted. If Yours are bigger than 300 KB, You must reduce them, maybe as follows:

If You open Your file with Photo Studio, You can choose "size of picture" (?? /have the german version "Bildgr??e") and than give in e.g. 50%, (save as "temp" )- this will reduce the file size reasonably.

POC admin Mark Olson suggests: ?All posted photos on the web look fine at 72 dots per inch.  It is the way all monitors display things - higher resolution is fine for printing - in fact you need 200-300 dots per inch to get a good print out.  Most stuff posted on the web Can't be printed unless it has a linked high resolution photo you can click on to print.?

If You have a scanner, do as I did not knowing the secrets of  grafic plus digitals:
scan a print with 100 dpi or even at black and white, so at least we get an impression of Your car.

Greetings! Go

Go Fleiter,

Thanks for the input about putting photos on the Forum. I found and downloaded "Photo Studio" and will begin working with it.

Was in Germany twice last year, doing a "gig: for the USAF the last time. Enjoyed touring around mainly southern Germany. Beautiful country. May go again this year.

Cheers!
