I have seen this mentioned several times. He apparently has a nice outline and I would like a copy to refere to as I reassemble my car. I have been to his site but can't seem to bring the process up. Could someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

It is on the tech board....I just tried to access it and it wouldn't load. Click around in there and you will find it. I have it printed for each project and cross items off as I go. You can jump around it a little as you get componants finished but it works well.
