Im not bragging or anything like that but if you wanted to buy an FC in the condition mine is in you would need more than 10 grand.
In the 6 year total rebuild of my car, my bro and i redone the whole car in NOS, recon, reproduction parts and at the end  of the day it cost me 20 grand,that was 7 years ago.But i took no short cuts coz i built the car as a keeper,also you can only get what a person is willing to pay at the end of the day

Ghost in the Machine!
Not really, I asked RET to help out, which he kindly did. In the mean time I am trying to scan that picture a bit better.

That looks heaps better now, thanks RET.
I didn't realise how crappy the first one was, having my screen resolution set very high at 1280x1024.

Nunzio, you are quite welcome.

No worries 2brite, happy to help.

Stinky, here's a trick I learnt from gree, who's a bit of a Photoshop Guru.  If you're scanning something that has all that mottled bromide look, scan it a bit crooked.  Then straighten it in Photoshop or whatever and it will look much better.

Even with the image you sent me, PS was able to do a pretty good job reducing the size without getting all pixellated.  There sure is a difference in the before and after shots!

cheers
