HOW TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE:
In order to upload images, you need to become a KITCARSFORUM.COM Patron - More information on this posted here!

If you have your own webhosting account elsewhere, you can still link to images hosted on your own account without becoming a patron.

Now, onto the image posting tutorial:

Imagine you are writing a new topic or replying to a message. There is a white box you normally type your message into, and then click "submit".

Under this white box and to the left there is now a text link which reads "Additional Options...". Click this link.

A new list of options will appear.

The final option is "Attach". In order to upload an image, click the "Browse" button located by the "Attach" option. This will open a "locate file" dialog box. Using this dialog box, locate the image on your computer and click OK.

Then submit your message as normal, and your done!


HOW TO CROP AN IMAGE:

Cropping is the ...art... of taking a portion of an image and
getting rid of the rest. perfect example is those that scan
photos and have a white area around the size of a corn field.
bad!

-one way is using the scanner software, there should be a
crop button or maybe an icon that looks like a picture frame.
select and then press it. it will get rid of everything not
selected

-PAINT: Using the almighty software
1. once in paint and having the photo/pic open, take the
rectangular selection tool

2. select the portion YOU WISH TO KEEP

3. copy

4. file, new and if it asks don't save changes

5. resize the area to something way too small (using the lower
right corner box)

6. the area left will be too small for what you just copied, but
THAT IS OK

7. edit, paste  [ it might ask if you wish to adjust the size to
what you are pasting, if it does, say YES]

8. there you go, you now have a portion of the original, now
just save it as something else or overwrite the original

JST:

Patron = send $25 US to Ari and you will be able to post photos on the site. It costs Ari a lot of money to maintain this site so some of us help offset that cost be contributing money to his efforts. Please do so in order to keep the site alive and well.

Thanks,

Dave

If you are building a car there are about 29-30 people actually building a cars on this site and you can learn a lot from them.  With regard to the others, you will have to make your own decision upon their content. There are a few selling kits, look on the approved vendor list so you know you are doing business with someone who is honest.

Since there are so many people listed as members we had to have a few Forum Rules; they are as follows:
