Title: Is it wrong to have more bowties than shoes?
Post by: logride on November 18, 2013, 08:28:39 PM: I have a good friend in the local area that I met while building my 27. He is definitely a doer, the type that just makes things happen.

I was out and about today getting templates for the glass for the 32. ( and some cool Guide bumper mount fog lights) at the Gentleman's place that I got the coupe from. And he had a muffler and tailpipe for my friend Eds 1954 Chevy wagon.

My son and I went to Ed's to deliver them and I got a few pics.

He wanted a 1959 something for years. a year ago or so he called and said he was looking at a 59 jaguar! What are you going to do with that little thing?! Oh it's a 4 door? Well you'll have to put a Chevy in it so you can get home...... Oh it has one. I just can't picture what it looks like.

Here it is. And by the way a 57 Olds rear axle bolts right in!

Solid wood in this one.

Thanks, Mike

Post by: EDNY on November 20, 2013, 06:48:31 AM: Thanks for sharing the pictures....

As far as flipping the photos, I do it with Microsoft Photo Editor, if you can't figure it out let me know I can do it on my end.

My buddy is building a 50's Chevy bus...guess he's having a heck of a time obtaining classis car insurance.

I can rotate pics on my pc but I have been using my iPad for every thing and haven't taken the time to figure it out.

Post by: logride on November 20, 2013, 11:33:13 PM: Ed, I rotated the pic on my iPad and edited the post and it still looked upsidedown but when you enlarged it you can view it correctly.

I'll just have to put a arrow on my iPad as to which way is up when taking pics.

Post by: EDNY on November 21, 2013, 06:51:04 AM: Just rotated one of your pictures...what puts a wrench in it is that all of the pictures have the same file name? I had to open the picture then rotate it.

Post by: logride on November 26, 2013, 09:08:29 AM: Hey Ed, thanks for taking the time to investigate. I'm going to try to hold my iPad correctly so I don't have the issue.
