Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2012: I'm possibly not the newest T owner anymore....

I've had my Depot Hack for about 3 weeks now. Long enough to have it registered, insured and a couple of 2 mile round trips into our little town. I had the advantage of keeping it at the airport so I could practice my driving skills on the parking area and taxiway. My only concern was running into a $100k aircraft but I'm sure Hagerty would understand. Took momma for her first ride outside of the airport today. Went to Sonic and had a milk-shake. It wasn't quite like crusin' in the '60s but it was fun.
Now to start picking where to start on what I want to work on. I have some minor cosmetic things to address, but brakes, magneto, and a bunch of other things that I don't really understand come to mind. My new Model T Service Manual seems to have a lot of the answers and this forum has been invaluable in helping me recognize some of the differences and idiosyncrasies of this vehicle. Seems to be a lot like airplanes. I'll always be learning.

Larry
Welcome from a 19 hack owner. It is fun to attempt to identify the body manufacturer. Mine was made by Mifflinburgh in Pa

Larry,
Try this,
Right click on the picture and come down to 'Send to' and left click on 'Mail recipient'. Choose a size (probably 640 X 480). Mail it to yourself.

If you have a lot of pictures, Google for, fast image resizer (look for the one on CNET)

Congrats on the Hack.
T's are like potato chips, you can't just have one.

If you're using a Mac, open the picture and click on TOOLS (we don' need no steenking right or left), then click ADJUST SIZE. Change the number in the Width or Height box and down in the Resulting Size box it will show you what size file that will make. You want that number to be 194 KB or less; click on OK and you have your resized picture. Its info may show a larger size, like 236 KB or 248 KB. That doesn't matter. It will still work as long as the the number that was in the Resulting Size box was 194 KB or less.

It's best to keep your original full size picture and make a copy to resize.
