I'm not sure how to resize photos on my own computer, but if you post them at photobucket.com or a similar place, it is real easy to resize them to 640x480 which will fit the screen perfect.
Interesting history. I can see why it would take so long to make the car just from a cash point of view, but being the purist you are, it must be like tracking a missing person, sorting out wrong info from right! Nice job!
