This post is not about anything.  I just wanted to see if I was smart enough to add some photos to the site.

This is my merc & Gal

The merc in this pic has original paint, which I had painted 2 yrs ago. That is an original NOS linc/Merc Accessory sunvisor. The front bumper & chrome on the front is original, not rechromed.

     

I have admired the pictures of your Merc, in fact, they are what prompted me to post pictures of my car.   Jan

Thank you Jan!  I would definately like to see some more pictures of these Y-block cars on here too. Seems like some could figure it out as it should be easy compared to the technical stuff about y-block racing stuff I read about on this site.   Mike

Picture posting instructions:

While you’re in the process of posting a thread or in the edit mode, there is an icon (fourth from the right on the upper row and has a graphic of mountains and the sun) that will allow you to browse your own computer and download pictures from your own drive to the site.

 

When putting your cursor over the icon, it will have a mini pop up that states “insert picture’ and after clicking this icon, you should be in a position to browse your own directory for the desired picture and upon selecting it, copy it to the site.

 

For the most part, if the pictures are too large, they will be automatically downsized to a maximum of ‘500’ wide but if you’ve got the capability, they can be downsized smaller than this on your end before posting them to the site which makes them easier to pull up for those readers that are using dial-up.

 

An important tip that will keep the screen at its normal size is to hit the return or enter key after each picture to align the pictures in an up and down format to keep them from stacking up left to right and forcing the viewer to scroll the screen left to right to view the pictures and/or text.  Also, if putting in some text before inserting the picture, then use a hard return or <enter> after the text to put the picture under the text instead of the right of it.

 

If putting pictures into your signature, make every effort to keep them on the small side to minimize the amount of space being taken up in the signature.  This will allow more threads per page and likewise help to keep the threads quicker to pull up for viewing.

 

This should take some of the mystery out of picture posting.

Paul,

  An easy way to do this from your easy share or hp is to click on them or where it says save, and save them to "my documents".    Then on this site, go into "my account" & then click on edit signature- and then click on browse-click on my documments-and double click on the picture, then go to the next browse box and insert another picture the same way. Then hit edit when your done.   Hope this helps.      Mike

     

Thank you all for your comments about my car.  This is a recreation of what I would have liked to do to my original '56.  I drove a '56 customline during high school and College.  My original car was I think called, '"Sea Foam green, (Pea green to me)", and I always wanted to paint it, but did not have the money. I did have it "nosed and decked" and had real lakes pipes, unlike the non-functional ones I have on this car.  I am in the process of building a 292/312 motor for it to replace the tired 272.  I have a T-5 with adapter, so I should have a good driveable car without detracting from the real car aspect.  Next thing will be disc brakes and A/C.  I am getting to old and cranky to enjoy sweating while I drive, and freezing in the winter.  I will keep all appraised of my progress, and hope to be able to make some trips to Y-block events next year.   Again, thanks for the comments, and thanks for this site.
