Alan Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Great build of one of my favs as well!! Pics are fine if you click on photo . LOVE large file photos ...
MrObsessive Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Steve, that is absolutely, terrifically BEAUTIFUL!! Spanish Red is my favorite color for a '66 300, and the finish on yours is outta sight! In regards to the pics.........I originally saw your photos on my iPhone at work, and they did look squished but now I'm seeing 'em on my laptop, and they look just fine------dare I say perfect! Maybe it's the resolution some devices are defaulted to display certain things?? I don't know but needless to say, I'm saving your pics! I have two of these-------one de-built one with some roof damage.......some kind of solvent got on it from the previous guy who had it, and I've had it for many years. The other one is a very clean built-up I got off the 'Bay sometime last year, and paid a pretty penny for it! The de-built one with the roof damage I may build that one and turn it into a convertible, using the leftover top as a basis for an uptop. I LOVE the shape of the uptops on those! Once again, gorgeous job and I see you're teasing me with a WIP of a '65 Plymouth! You're tempting me to one day do something with the Johans I got as I have a '66 Fury hardtop that calls my name from time to time.

I have a '66 Plymouth to build as well someday, hopefully soon, but mine is a convertible. Steve
sbk Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I'll chime in, too, gorgeous & no photo squishing on my end! I also agree about the the flake in the paint being so perfect for the scale. Very nice!
Burnout Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 That is an absolutely stunning model. Congrats on a job very well done.
mangodart Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 It is absolutely gorgeous !!!!!!! Remind me of the 66 New Yorker I had years ago !!!!!
62 Parts Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Super clean and super cool, Steve! those Johan kits were fantastic I agree..
Jon Cole Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Seems to me, it has something to do with the size that your photo host stores them at. If I knew how, I would tell you how to check your photo upload size, and how to adjust it. Someone here must know how. What is your photo hosting site?
gluebum Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Beautiful build.P.S. Pictures are squished here as well on 15" widescreen laptop.
Lunajammer Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Here is a screen shot of what I see on my monitor... The size of your window determines whether your pic is squished. Harry, I expect you have a pretty good screen so if you make your view window wider (full size?) it un-squishes. Small screens I'm not sure about. I can slide between squished and unsquished. Such a lovely model Steven. I hope you can bring some of your stuff to NNL North in Bloomington in two weeks. I'd like to see them.
bbowser Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Your paint and foil work is outstanding, and I love your subject matter. Keep them coming. (I'm on the non-squished team, 22" monitor)
kevjoh Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Your pic's size looks OK to me, perfect, don't alter anything,
RAMBENNA Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Steve absolutely beautiful car, love the color and I have no problem viewing your posts.
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 Thank you so much guys! I'm humbled! Such encouraging words from everyone is the greatest motivation there is for the next one. I still had the "photo studio" set up from the other day so I thought, "why not". Decided I should add a few indoor photos as well. Thanks again everyone!! Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 Squished, squished, and squished. Ok Harry. Stop your crying! This one is for you. Is that better? But enjoy it. You only get one! Steve
Harry P. Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Still squished. I don't know why you see me as "crying." I'm just saying that your photos are too big and appear distorted on my screen, and on other member's screens, too. It's not about me whining, it's about your photos being too big. Why not just post smaller photos instead of trying to make this my problem?
sbk Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Still looks fine on mine, with quite a bit of room to spare horizontally. Edited May 5, 2016 by sbk

Why not just post smaller photos instead of trying to make this my problem? Relax Harry. I was only kidding around with you. I only saw a few responses of people mentioning that the photos looked "squished". Most of the responses that mentioned it said the photos looked just fine. I prefer to post larger pictures, but if it's going to cause a problem, I'll see what I can change in the future. The photo I just posted was resized down from 161.59 KB to 71.48 KB. How much smaller do I need to go? Steve
Harry P. Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 It's not about file size, it's about the physical size of the image.
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 It's not about file size, it's about the physical size of the image. Not sure how I go about changing that. Is this any better? Steve
