Step 1 Click the Automator icon and open the App. You will see this Click "New Document" in the bottom left hand corner. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 3 This will appear Click once on "Files & Folders" (the fifth item in the list on the left hand side) Then double click on "Ask for Finder Items" (the first item on the list which is to the right of the first list) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 4 Click "Photos" (the 12th item in the list on the left hand side) Then double click "Scale Images" (the 3rd last item item in the list to the right of the first list) A box will appear stating "This action will change the image files passed into it.

Step 5 This will appear. Click "Allow Multiple Selection" in the Ask for Finder Items. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 6 Create 2 new folders on your desktop. The first folder is where you drag the pictures you want to resize. (I have called the folder "Bentley 1967" in my example) The second folder is where your resized images will appear. (I have called the folder "Scaled 800x800" in my example)
Step 7 Change "Start at" to the first folder you created on your desktop. (In my example I have changed it from "Desktop" to "Bentley 1967") Change "To" to the second folder you created on your desktop. (in my example I have changed it from "Desktop" to "Scaled 800x800") Change the number "480" under Scale Images to "800" Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 8 Drag the images you want to resize into the first folder you created on the desktop. (In my example I have named my first new folder on the desktop "Bentley 1967") You can drag the original images back to their original location after the resizing process is complete. Then go back to Automator and press "Run" in the top right hand corner.
Step 9 This will appear. The only difference will be that your images will have different names. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 10 Click on the first image in the list. Then press and hold the "Shift" key. Then while pressing and holding shift, press and hold the down arrow key, until all the image names are blue, right down to the bottom of the list. Press "Choose" Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 11 This will appear to show you that the process is complete. Press the red circle in the left hand corner to close the workflow and get ready to save it for future use by giving it a name. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Step 12 Give the workflow a name you want to save it to. (I have used "Scale images for Ferrarichat") Press "Save" Image Unavailable, Please Login
Now you are finished. My original folder had about 50 large images in it. My second folder now has the same 50 images in it, except resized / scaled to 800x800. Here is the original of one image from the first folder, and corresponding the resized / scaled image from the second folder. You can drag your original images back to another folder where you want to keep them. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Next time you want to resize images it will be ultra simple. You drag the new images into the first folder. Then you double click on the workflow in your finder / desktop. Image Unavailable, Please Login
This will appear and you simply Press "Run" Then select your pictures as before and press "Choose" Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have had some blips in the process of attempting to resize my first batch of pictures, in line with what never happens ever to anyone else, but it does to me. I cannot thank you enough for making the time to help out and truly hope I can be consistent with it, given the hiccups already leading to this post. However, your time in simplifying the resizing of the pictures is an incredibly generous undertaking and I really appreciate it. If no picture is uploaded below, then I'm giving up and pm'ing you directly and/or going to an Apple store in a few weeks. Well, I'll be damned... I will resume the documenting of the build for 46567!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not sure if it makes a difference but if the iPad and iPhone you can only upload one pic at a time. Looking forward to the finished paint pics.
I have since learned some limited information on the car's past from a couple of sources, notably a previous title as well as a plaque on the car from the entity who federalized back in 1989. One of the old titles came from GLB Motors reflecting a purchase date of 11/14/01, already with a prior salvage title, and 46567 coming into Missouri from Arizona. That probably meant the car likely sat pretty much abandoned at GLB from 2001 until sometime towards the end of 2009 when they performed the engine transplant and then put it up for sale on eBay and interestingly, also right when I first saw this car and tried to buy it... The title was then signed off in January of 2010 by the seller to me, who had resided in CA but apparently never got around to registering the car. That would explain the relatively apparently low chassis mileage of just over 22,000 miles which must have accumulated from 1985 to the late 1990's when the original engine must have given out, and the car considered a total loss? This is all I have to go on, so if anyone has anything other than my posts on this car and/or the previous owner (Kart), then by all means please PM as I would like to know more.
As you can see, the paint prep work was rather arduous given the many years of neglect on the car... The hood was particularly banged up as were the headlight buckets which also had seen better years. Another coat of primer went on as the bodywork was worked on for weeks on end. Nonetheless, it was important to get all the gaps as correctly proportioned as possible, which took plenty of patience on Michel's end. But there was still a ways to go and the pictures show how every inch of the car received some kind of attention!

Michel put on 3 coats of primer, over 2 gallons of the stuff, which prompted plenty of sanding afterwards in preparation for paint. Mercifully, no rust repair on this car nor any evidence of prior body damage. PS - I am so glad I am able to post pics again - I will try not to make up for lost ground too badly (?!?) but I will be posting quite a bit going forward!

The spoiler had seen better years too... On this very first picture, the apparent original color of the car appears for what I believe to be the first and only time - some shade of gray. Michel removed the trim piece held together since who knows when, and realized the structure itself was warped. So, he fashioned a piece of aluminum to give the top portion of the spoiler the desired symmetrical shape. Of course, Michel is very meticulous and makes everything so, in order for the new piece to blend itself onto the spoiler, which then became convincingly attached to it. After removing the rest of the paint, fixing all the imperfections, adding primer and followed with sanding, now it too was ready for paint!!! Since I have no intention of selling the car ever, nor any desire to add a european plate to cover the beautiful front end of the car, I had him permanently remove the mounting screws that are affixed in the lower middle area - why not?

Christian, The pics below show what color I decided to go with... I already own a white car and a silver one as well. I haven't owned a black car in close to 20 years - the car is already that color, originality for me is not close to being any type of a deciding factor, and I really wanted the black & tan color combo. So, 46567 is finally sporting some new, black, shiny and awesome paint very carefully undertaken by its formidable restorer! We test fitted the newly redone spoiler for fitment purposes and it was actually better than new, as could be said of the body work and paint - no doubt in my mind. PS - I won't post any more pictures for tonight as I know I have posted over 45+ in 24 hours or so? But, please visit the classifieds as I placed some items from this car for sale. I am reasonable with any monetary offers you send my way - just search under 400 parts. Please PM me directly about any inquiries and eventually, the unsold items will inevitably wind up on eBay.
