F-Body Europe

I must be dense, I still can't figure out how to post a pic here.

Go to the member's section. There you can upload pics. After you upload it, or have the url, just copy and paste into the img tags like this:

[ i m g ] url of pic [/ i m g] Just leave out the spaces.

Like Jack said. Find a pic on the web and it HAS to be somewhere on the web, not on your home computer, right click on the picture then click on "Properties". Copy the "address" and paste that address in between the [img] tags in your post and it will come up as if by magic.

Thanks for your replies but I still haven't been successful. The first mistake I was making was I tried to copy it from my computer. I downloaded it to my member section and tried to do it from there exactly like this... and it still doesn't work. Now I really feel stupid since you have said it is easy.. please help me... A white square shows up where the pic link was and that's all....

You're almost there ... all that's missing now is the actual path (server name and directory), plus you need to have the letter case right, that is in this case:

Though it would be nice to have the pics halfway in the screen size area, so up to 600-800 width would be preferable ...

Thanks very much Garry! That explains it now! All this talk of URL's etc. makes my head spin. That is one BIG rear end!!! You can delete it as I imagine it takes up a fair amount of room. Thanks very much again for everyones help. Tom

What kind of camera took this pic? Anyone know? It looks so cool the way the car is in perfect focus and the rest is all the same blur.

I may just be stupid, but I thought that it would look cool to have my car with some hot ass German chick and the sunset at Bitburg behind it.

Pretty easy if you use a "real" camera ... true, most digital cameras will probably take a picture that's more or less all sharp exposure ...
With a camera that allows distinct manual setup, you could go in close, use a wide angle lens, use a very short exposure time (like 1/1000s) with a lens aperture of 2.8 or bigger ... that way, you have very little depth sharpness, so only a small distance that you set the sharpness to will appear clear, while anything further or closer will be blurred.
Or, you could just take a regular picture and run it through some graphics software to blur anything but your car and the chick

I can tell you! My son took the pic of one of my cars at the Show & Shine we had last August at the GM PowerTrain Plant where I work in St. Catharines, Ontario Canada. As a matter of fact, it was the day of the great power failure here, August 14th. and I was worried about the weather, which turned out perfect and not even considering a power failure. We build the LS1, LS6 and LS2 engine.....hold on and also the HFV6 that goes into the Cadillac CTS as well as the engine that will be going into the CTS-V. (Does anyone know what that is?...) Anyhow, I had just purchased the Camera and we were sort of experimenting with it. It is a Kodak Easyshare LS443 4.0 mega pixel with a schneider-kreuznach lense. it came with its own loading dock. For the price, I think it is a great little camera. I have used it for action shots of my daughter playing soccer and the stop action and detail is tremendous. Hope that helps. Tom

Okay Garry! Now how do I get the pic smaller to your suggestion of 600-800 wide? Tom

I scaled it down to 800 width ... normally, most graphics programs should be able to scale an image ... I might add a function to the member gallery to include scaling ...
Btw, nice car!!!

Hi again Garry! Thanks for the compliment! It was the first one I bought and I really enjoy it. I bought it in 1982 as a basket case and drove it for the first time in 1995 and the resto was finished in 1997. It was well worth the wait. thanks much for your help. Tom P.S. I think that addition to the site would be worth while for peole to reduce the size of pics. It certainly would save you a lot of hassle.

The LS2? Got any extra laying around? Just sneak one out under your shirt!

I'll take a couple!!!

You and quite a few others would love to have one or two of those extra. They are a heck of an engine and they are built at a world class facility and we have BenchmarK Quality as well !!! Bowling Green and the Cadillac facility expect the Best and they get it. From what I understand they are extremely happy with our engines! I would love to put one of those in an F-body. About a year ago we did a special run of some blocks (427) that were put in Camaros for testing and I guess they were downright scary. Would love to have one of those but I don't know what happened to them,...probably crushed

Would those happen the be the 427's they put in the Berger Camaros with something like 600hp out of the box?

My, word travels fast! I did hear something to that affect! Would love the get a hold of one of those beauties. I have some pics of one that were sent to me at work!

Where's the pic?

picture?

Pics of the car or the engine?
