I’m David from Montana

I’m 61 years old living in Montana .
I traded labor for my gt6 12 years ago. It’s been in my junk yard buried. Until my recent clean up it’s still in restorable condition. No rust needs body work. It popped 12 years ago but carbs were leaking.
I’m collecting parts needed to begin.
I’m pretty excited it should come together pretty quick.
Thanks for your interest.
David,

Hi Dave, thanks for posting and intro! I lived in Great Falls for almost 7 years. That’s where I bought a new Spitfire in 77.

No, I’m retired in New Mexico. I was in the USAF and stationed at Malmstrom AFB (NORAD) 73-79. Any pictures of your GT6?

Images must have a file size no greater than 3MB in order to upload them. You should be able to make a copy of your image(s) and most image viewing programs have the capability to reduce the size. Normally, a .jpg image that is no larger than 1024 pixels on the long side will be small enough in file size to work.

Hi Dave - welcome to BCF.

If you're a Windows computer guy, just open the image using Paint, and click the Resize button in the upper left corner. Experiment, using "Save As", until you find the new size you need.

Basil can fill you in on Mac computer methods.

If on a Mac, open with Preview. Go to File >> Duplicate to make a copy so you're not affecting the original image. Then Tools >> Resize and set the dimensions so that the long side is 1024 pixels. This will tell you what the resulting file size will be. Anything under 3 MB is good.
