Hey diesel and welcome to Old Gas. You found the right place to ask questions, everyone here is helpful. You will definately get your questions answered best when you learn how to post a pic.
I assume you read the post on how to do this, but your pics are too big. There are several ways to make them smaller. Your email program might reduce them so you can email the pic to yourself, save it, then post it here. There are several websites that will do this for you. I use shrinkpictures.com. You can also post on a site like photobucket and post the link in your post here.
Hope this helps.
John

Welcome to oldgas. Open your picture with "Paint" On the tool bar, hit stretch/skew. Make the picture smaller and save it. It should work then.

Hope this helps, Ryan

I use Photo Shop to edit camera pictures, but it does take some time to learn the program [IF you have it]. Paint also works to Crop out the background to help in re-sizing & changing the resolution to 72 will help on file size.
Try this excellent tutorial for Image Shack [FREE HOSTING of images].

Image shack has worked well for a computer dummy like me. I went through the directions on this site and I think it worked the first time I tried it.
Good luck. and try to save your self from having to join the many members in the Gas Pump Collectors Anonymous

Hi diesel'

Interesting logo there. Am I safe in assuming that you know what the slang terms "400 Comeapart","300 oil leaks and 18 horsepower" and "Kittycat" mean? Just kidding.

Anyway welcome to the site.

Howdy.
A word of warning on that pump...
When you restore it , make sure the doors will slide up between the top and the top trim ....BEFORE YOU PAINT.
better yet, before you dismantle the cabinet. wink
The top trim has a bad rep for scraping paint off top of door when closed correctly cry mad cry

Let me know if you need a computer rebuild.
some say I do a pretty good job.
Thanks
Joe
