73' B3 340 Duster pro touring build

-
I had wondered how you were going to connect the hoses. Couldn't imagine ugly old regular clamps hanging out there. Those gates heat shrink clamps are cool. I'm amazed how you find such things.

Thanks Mark....I'm happy with the paint, cant wait to roll it back outside in the Sun to look at the neighbors house in the reflection again.

Question: Do you still have the Trunk you offered up to me a year or so ago ?....I've got a really unique spoiler design I saw on a car from SEMA that I really want to design and incorporate onto another trunk lid. I'm don't want to scrap mine or hold up the build (It's going slow enough) but maybe next winter I can work on it after the car has hit the street and getting closer to being done.

Its yours if you want it........... a year older and a little rustier!
 
Okay, does anyone know why my pictures are posting smaller than they use to ? Here is the same picture that I used on my first post on the first page, notice how much smaller it posts. When I post the same pictures on another build site I have to reduce the size by half the amount I use here so they fit and they are twice as big...what changed ? I saw that someone asked a Moderator the same question and he said it was the user's settings, if that's the case why reduced by half on another site are they still twice as big. I hate that you have to look at such small pics, it really hides the details. When I show people at work I use the other build site forum so they can see everything better. I really wish everyone following the build could see the larger pictures....? I look at several builds here and some have nice sized pictures and others have smaller pictures like the one's my build has been posting.....Any Suggestions

I saved it and then looked at the size......it was only 500 x 279.

Try sizing them at 800 x 600 or even 1024 x 768 before saving.

I was saving mine at 640 x 480 and recently they started showing up too small
also. Now I'm sizing them at the 1024 x 768 size - problem solved.

No, I don't know why either.
 
test 1060x708 same size as posted on another forum.. fail, it fills the page on the other site so it a FABO issue not my sizing. I checked properties on this pic now that I posted it here and it was switched to 500x 334 ...WTF ? Same as the above before picture it changed when posted to 500 x 335.

Yes, it had a few cracks but nothing terrible. I started fixing it before you talked me into making a 71' out of it.

Test 800 x 600 (it started out too small to expand to 1024 x 768 without becoming fuzzy).

It might be that your camera settings got "bumped". It happened to me. When you first download
them what does their file size show?

OK I just saved the grille pictures from page 15 they were 800 x 537 now that I posted them here without changing anything the go to the same size the others 500 x 334 my camera wasn't even involved and I got a new camera for XMas and this happened before the camera change.

I think the forum is resizing them. I noticed it with mine as well as I always did 800x600.

I would believe that if everybody's pics were the same size but some like hemiorangeswinger's build pic's (for example) are the size that mine are on the other forum.

you did see my post about the deck lid correct?

I posted a pic and it showed up sideways.....I tried and tried to correct it but I had to save it, resize it and it posted correctly ...... crazy..
 
I thought for sure you weren't holding your mouth right. Damn it!

Here's a shot of the lower hose utilizing the heat shrink clamps. I made the cut directly over the Upper Alternator support so it would act as a anti-wear strip to protect the actual rubber hose against potential rub-thru since it rests directly on the aluminum bracket.
