Ron, I like to see close up shots of detail items such as inspection marks, attachment points, detailed trunk shots, undercarriage shots, factory sound deadener etc. I am more interested in original shots of these than restored pictures for obvious reasons but interested none the less. At 3 hours long, I think it safe to assume that you pretty much got it all. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I did get a lot of interesting shots which won't be published in Nova Times. Mostly because of the number of pictures I have and at what point it becomes boring to the subscribers. I will say I have more unrestored pictures than unrestored video. I moved around alot on the video since I did the video just for my records and not as a documentary. I mostly have done this as a driver hence I left the wild candy apple blue metal flake paint on. The car is originally Cortez Silver. I won't restore it as a gold spinner car since I want to drive it. I already have one that I don't want to drive. I'm with the crowd now that wants to drive the car. I checked on shooting video of the unrestored pictures I took and it looks like it will work. This will really increase the video length. I think I have a total of 600 to 700 pictures. I had a friend with a digital camera come today and take a couple of pictures of the car and I'll hopefully try to post them. (I'll keep my fingers crossed.)

Ron;

I had proposed to do an "In Detail" Picture CD for NNN this past fall. I had used the B&W pictures of Dave Belk's Yenko as the prototype. I would include high resolution color pictures and a description of the action like in Nova times. I would be willing to do that same thing with your pictures (and maybe video) for you. Since this is a limited audience I could put it together and send it out at no cost on CD.

I will upload the prototype to the web this weekend for you to look at. It will only be there for a short time, since it is using copyrighted material which I have no right to use. If any one else wants to use pictures of their supercar, I could ask Tom to use the Supercar Registry logo.

I would need copies of your pictures to scan into the computer. This maybe an easier way to distribute your hundreds of pictures. I will let you know when the prototype is loaded on the web.

BTW, It could be a great fund raiser for this board or others if it gets really popular, which is why a came up with it for NNN. A cool way to see detail of other restorations.

Greg,
Sounds good. Did you get my e-mail with digital photos? I also sent them to SS427. Did either of you get them? I just got a feeling I messed it up. I tried to post it here but it said the file was too big. I could send you my binders with the pictures in them. Risky though. Maybe contact Wayne at NNN since they're done with a lot of them. If Wayne needs my permission let me know. The video of the pictures turned out nice. I just couldn't get much video of the underside of the car now. I need it up on a hoist. I'm done with the video so all interested send me an e-mail of where to send it to.

Ron, I did not. Keep in mind that my cheap (me not my account) hotmail account can only accept a total of 1040K in size. If more than that it will kick them back. You may need to send several e-mails. If not, throw them on a disc and I will reimburse you your costs. I can never get enough resource material. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Ron,

I have not checked my Email. So I do not know if it worked. I am on a different computer to do the upload to the web.

Here is the link InDetail Prototype

I had to reduce the resolution of the large pictures and eliminate some of them to keep within the site limits. Remember this is a rough prototype. I spent more time scanning in the B&W pictures than creating everything else.

If you like this than we can work out how to do the pictures.

Dave, if you do not want me using the Nova Times pictures of the Yenko email me and I will take them down. Otherwise they will come down in about a week.

Greg,
Neat, it would be nice to have a small description under each picture so a reader knows what he/she is looking at. Maybe owners could give more comments than what is in NNN. With so many pictures of the same item from different angles, people can miss the point of what you're trying to show. Rick said he got my e-mail. I still don't know how to put a picture of the engine here?? You should have got 5 digital photos. The one showed where the negative battery cable was mounted.

Here is the picture of the battery cable connection to the engine block. I reduced the quality to 90% to make it small enough to post. Greg
