| New member here. I've visited this site before, read the threads, but never joined before because I didn't have a Forward Look Mopar. I just drug home this old
Desoto.
A friends car, it was a good drivable car thru the 80's, stored in the 90's, then neglected outside since. He was going to restore it someday. It has a 330 hemi that ran good, I will pull the engine for my use. Came with a factory dual quad intake in the trunk. Too bad with it's current condition, the car is so very complete.
But I've got plenty of room here, it will RIP by my shop.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Sound intriguing. If you post up more info about your 56 Desoto, we could likely provide you with some help and/or suggestions.
If you need help posting photos, have a read on this:

| I've tried posting pictures, but after I hit submit it comes back saying the photo can't be over 500 kb. I'm not sure how to reduce the size of the photo file. |

Yeah they have to smaller than some limit (with me it is 250 kB not sure where 500 kB comes from).
I've previously posted this:
"I've used Irfanview to crop photos and/or resize them (typically from 3200 x 2300 to 1024 to 760 for this website).
I also use it do process screen captures, i.e. capture what is on the screen as a jpg with Shift/Print Screen, then Edit (in Irfanview), then Paste and then click and drag the area I want and then Crop Section (cut out) and save. Anything that is on the screen can be saved this way. It is free. "

There are more hints in this photo resizing thread:

Hope you can figure it out. We'd love to see photos of your 56.

Location: Washington, PA | Just use paint. Every windows computer has it. Click resize and keep making it smaller until the file size is under 500, or 250. I have seen this site use both as limits. |

Location: So. Cal | Yes, but paint doesn't compress a JPG very well. The file sizes come out bigger. But it is better than nothing. I use Corel Photopaint, but I bought a copy of it.
The size limit is 250KB in most places on the Forum, but 500KB in your personal photo album & Memeber Rides areas.

If you have lots of room on the photo between the car and the edge of the photo you can trim the photo. Make a copy of the photo and trim the copy. That way if you mess things up you haven't lost anything. |
