Quote from: 1930artdeco on 2026-02-23 10:42I will have to find a way to shrink the photo sizes to load the rest of them.

I can walk you through the shrink process if you'd like. You still have my number? If not I'll send it to you.  :006:

Hugh, I can resize them on my computer it is just my phone that I don't know how to do yet. Which is where the pics are right now. I just need to find a way to get them onto my computer, i.e. I need the right cable which I don't have-go figure.

AH! Cheat...like I do. Send them to your computer. Then do the resize and post them from the computer. Doing it on the phone is WAY too much work, did it once...can do it infinitely faster on the computer!   :003:

I email the pics from my phone to my computer and park them on my "desktop"...
Convoluted I know but it works.

Lol, pretty much the way we all do it; much easier sitting in front of the PC/Laptop then trying to do $hit on the phone.
When I was 14 years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned 21, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last 7 years!

Got my parts in yesterday. Was not aware anyone made brand new bell cranks! Hoping it works. Plus an AC comp. mount for where I need it to go.

Time for another slow update. I finally got the pass rear floor pan tacked in. I am slowly tacking/welding it in. I usually tack or run short beads for about an hour and then let the whole pan cool. And then I hit again a few days later. Repeat.

I wish I could find the sequence of operation as to how that bellcrank assembly is engineered to work.  I looked for it a few years ago, and could never find it.

3/4 update. The pass rear pan is 3/4 in! Just need to grind it smooth and find the holes I missed-which I am sure there are lots. I need to futz with the tunnel section next. That will take metal working to finish this pan.
