First off, freakin cool car my friend! Loads of potential.

Factory ac for gods sake!

Your upside down pictures are your fault. I went through the same crap with the moderators here when I started. I would guess you're using your phone for the pictures. Hold your phone in the landscape position with the top of the phone to your left and take you picture. This will cure your problem without @Noobz347 showing up being a smartas* about your technological abilities. Trust me, I have personal experience on my side here.

@Noobz347 is one of the moderators of stangnet. He can appear like a smartas*, but he really is one of the nicest people on the forum. Maybe a little esoteric at times, he has this big bushy mustache that keeps getting in the way of reason. He's smarter than most of us as well, I keep wondering if he's just toying with us as an experiment.....

What are your plans for your car? We all love pictures here, so post a bunch.

Anyhow, post more details in the classic subforum, you'll find lots of help from people way smarter than me there.

I paint cars for a living and have for waaaay too long, so if you need help with paint, let me know.
 
Some still believe that this is a Mustang forum. :stir:




Anyway... Lots of folks these days have taken to posting images from their phones (this is news, right).

Tips for making phone pics work correctly:

ALWAYS hold your phone in movie screen position what taking a pic. Your phones "hard buttons" should be on the right. Auto-rotation for the camera app should remain enabled.

When you post the image, don't try and second guess orientation for the upload. Just straight-up upload the image with no modifications.

If you've got an old flip-phone? You should not be using it to post to Stangnet. lol Get a digital camera and a computer.

Finally.... Microsoft Paint is your friend. Just about anything you do in Paint is WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get). Just remember to look at your canvas size and cut-out any unnecessary white. Image/Canvas sizes for forums etc. are optimum at right around 1024x768. Anything larger is going to get cut-down in resolution by the server.


I may do a video tutorial on this. It's a super simple program to use and will do 'most' of what needs to be done for internet images.

Oh sure Noobz, be all nice and polite to him! But when I was having this very issue, out came the fangs like the twilight saga.....
 
As the car sits now. Driver fender apron and core support were damaged due to an accident 25 years ago. And since then the car sat in a garage. I pulled the engine which is sitting on the engine stand now.
