DeTomaso Mailing List: July 99, Message #170

Thanks Wayne:
No flames intended here but I stand what I say. I'm use to kits that
come with instructions. I haven't poked around into the dash or any
other places like that to figure out which was which. While diagrams are
fine, an occasional written instruction is needed. How you found out
about your kit's "put togetherness" is great. Congrads. For the money
one spends on these kits, you should expect more. I'm not disappointed
on the material, just the instructions that didn't come with it. Cal
