This is what Florence did to my 56 Club Sedan that I'd had for 35 years.

Thx, but I've done that. It is on the laptop, and when I hit copy all is good, but when I hit paste, it won't. I've tried several different approaches, and I can't find the right combination. When I have more time, I'll figure it out.

post your OS and I am sure someone will walk you through it.I had a hell of a time with win 10 compared to my older systems on one site others no problem.

I'd be interested in knowing how your insurance company has handled it. I hear a lot of talk about "act of God" escape clause, etc.

With climate change, Canada is now getting more frequent and violent tornadoes, so it's something to be aware of.

BTW Happy Thanksgiving Canucks !!

Well, so far, my insurance company has told me to send them the title, which I've done, and they then will send me a check for the agreed value, so there's that at least. No discussion about Act Of God escape clause.

Is there anything salvageable on the damaged car? You might ask if you can buy back for salvage value.

Daddio · 10-09-2018, 07:11 AM

Sounds like your insurance company is going to come thru. That's great, you don't need any more angst than you already experienced. Good luck!!

Further to the picture post, there is a size limit. I'm not sure if there is or what type of error message is displayed if you exceed it.

Yup, I've been doing all that you've outlined. The problem is that I get a message that the file failed to upload. I've tried several approaches, even different pictures, all with the failed to upload message. Its frustrating because the pictures are on my laptop, and I can clearly see where they are, but, they won't upload, and no reason is given. Thanks for the guidance anyway.

In your computer when the cursor is placed over a (thumbnail) photo an info box comes up with the image type, date, dimensions and 'file size'.
Using the 'attach photos' procedure you outlined, if the file size is 2mb or larger I've had NO luck posting them as an "attachment". I get an upload failure every time.

There could be basic image editing software in your laptop. If you right-click on a thumbnail image you should see 'edit' or 'open with' as options in the menu that comes up.
Under 'open with' there may be "Paint", I use it to add text or circles & arrows to photos AND you can 'resize' a photo to just under 2mb so the FordBarn server will accept it. There is a bit of a learning curve that can take time to become easier.
The 'Edit' function may do re-sizing as well, but I've not tried it.

There is an other option (somewhere) that allows you to put a full size photo directly into the body of a message, but someone else needs to explain that one.

If FordBarn could update something in their server to automatically resize photos as they are uploaded it would be so much easier.

No, the one in the avatar is the replacement for the one smashed by Florence. I tried several different body men/shops, and no one would touch it. It could be done, sure, just buy a donor car, cut off both roofs, weld the donor car roof on, switch out the doors and trunk and all windows, get a new interior, and pound out the fender and chrome pieces, and then it would be good to go. However, the cost invested would be 3 times the value of the original car, and it would still be only a Club Sedan. Although I really liked that car, obviously having kept it for 35 years, it seem prudent to buy another one already done, and move on. The one I bought is actually an "upgrade" since its a Victoria, and has many other convenience add ons (like power disc brakes, power steering, larger radiator, and automatic transmission) and is the exact same color combo I had (red & white).

Yes, there are lots of salvageable parts: almost all chrome, complete front end, engine & transmission, all lights & lenses, wheels & practically new wide white wall tires, all emblems, etc.

I think you are on to something here. Going to the file size, I determined it is 4.9MB, way too big for the 2 MB limit the Ford Barn can handle. I tried to down size it and although it did down size to under the 2 MB limit, and I saved it, when I go to upload it, it still reverts back to the previous size, and won't upload. I think we're getting closer to a solution here, and I'll keep trying various approaches. The pictures are worth it.

Thank you for your offer. I've just now emailed to you 3 pix. Hopefully, you'll have more success than I've had in posting.

just awful peoples lives altered for ever lives lost cats and dogs too. As far as the pictures we all like to see; all I can say out of high school I worked at Raytheon a major player
with the space project that happened in 1969. We built all consuls the one with the
"red button" - launch. We had no laptops no Pc's we did have the monster Uni vac we had rotary phones and phone booths. OK, I only try to say it is now 2018. Not long ago it was no problem postings pics. Now I can not on any forum insert a pic. It was so easy as long as your pictures are in a folder. question is why? some geek always stickin
a monkey wrench in there. Only thing I think of is, they are getting rid of us old people.
If you own a business remember, Nextel; push to talk? Ya own a two way radio oh, that
was too easy. What do ya do ---I gave up.. soup cans with a string worked for me!!
thats gone.

You might want to see how much the insurance company wants for you to buy it back - a lot of good parts to sell.

Thank you. Yep, I always thought it was beautiful too. Broke my heart to see it under the crushed garage. The tires still held air! The engine was untouched. I wanted so badly to try to restore it; but, the effort and cost were too great. Sadly, I had to let it go, but, not w/o a fight of all possibilities to get 'er fixed. It just wasn't in the cards.

Thanks for your interest.

You are correct, there are lots of great salvageable parts on the wreck. Someone is going to buy it at a salvage auction, and make money on it. Sadly, it won't be me.

You may have shot yourself in the foot by giving them the title up front. The car is now theirs. Hopefully everything will work out okay.

tinman080 · 10-11-2018, 07:22 PM

Too bad. The car needs a complete body shell, a roof or a full clip wouldn't help. Both doors, a trunk lid and a front fender. The left frame rail may be bent, it appears to have a pretty good droop. So many pieces of trim needed could be a real problem. Then interior, dash, window reveal mouldings, and glass. A nice car left as a parts car. Maybe 2-3 grand salvage...IMHO.

Yup, you & I agree. Those things you mentioned are exactly the same way I saw it, except the dash wasn't touched. The seats were okay, steering wheel, floor pans, all okay. Engine & transmission weren't touched. I truly believe I could start it right up, put it in gear, and drive; however, I'd need to be only 30 inches tall and probably would need a wing walker to direct me, as I wouldn't be able to see over the dash, since the roof was smashed to the belt line.

Somebody will buy it at a salvage auction, strip the good stuff off, make some money, but it'll take a long time to do so, time I didn't want to spend.

bobss396 · 10-12-2018, 10:46 AM

For me, its hard to give up a car. My current daily driver is one I bought new 20 years ago. I tend to keep my daily drivers at least 10 years. This Ford Fairlane Club Sedan is one I've had for 35 years. If it were up to me, I would have kept it till they carted me off to the old folks home someday in the very distant future. Even as smashed as it is, I tried to hang on to it and get 'er fixed. But, realistically, I know the time and effort involved is just too steep to climb anymore, so, I am trying to put it behind me, and I've found another car to take its place: a '56 Victoria, same color scheme and mostly same features. It is due to be delivered next week sometime.

I'm sure it'll be parted out. I can't imagine anyone trying to put it back together. So, at some point in the future, it'll be sold off piece by piece, including the door, but, man oh man, that driver's door was folded almost in half.

Yeah it is in rough shape but I only need the lower skin as mine is in even worse shape.

Most everything on that car (except the roof) can be fixed. I have seen worse repaired by insurance companies. It is all in the value of the car.

The door assy would need a glass opening frame. It would be a joy for someone with a rusted out door skin.

The car needs a complete body shell, a roof or a full clip wouldn't help. Both doors, a trunk lid and a front fender. The left frame rail may be bent, it appears to have a pretty good droop. So many pieces of trim needed could be a real problem. Then interior, dash, window reveal mouldings, and glass. A nice car left as a parts car. Maybe 2-3 grand salvage...IMHO. __________________ Just Passin' Thru.....Slowly!

I have seen worse repaired by insurance companies. It is all in the value of the car. The door assy would need a glass opening frame. It would be a joy for someone with a rusted out door skin. __________________ *** - WHY IS IT ... - ... that everything you buy in the grocery store is either wrapped in or contained in plastic but the government doesn't want you to carry it out in a plastic bag?
