Open the file in Paint, click ctrl+w and resize to about 40%.

Now resave the file as a jpg and a different name, to save the original copy.

Now you can attach the image.

Here's a picture inside of paint with the reply screen open, see the attach file and browse button, this is how you get a pic off your hard drive.

Now, also, notice the circle at the top near image and stretch/skew, click this with the picture opened in Paint.

and set the top settings to 40% and resave it as jpg file but save it as a different file name than the original copy.

So I just hit the browse button,find the file from where it was saved,click on it and it appears in the box.Does it matter that the filename has "Kodak pictures" as part of it?

I don't get people that say that, yeah it's a better program, but useless if you just want to resize pics. On my 64mb RAM laptop, Photoshop slows my computer down a lot, so Paint works great.

I've never seen an Edlebrock stb.This was built when the engine was still in the car and made to measure(or just about squeeze in!!).The hardest part was the plate on the firewall,getting it to miss the wiper motor.Some pics of this and the car(s) soon now I know what I'm doing.

Heres a boxed LCA with E S bushes pressed in with a homemade press by the Toecutter.
