I had to write the manual backwards  , that was a challenge at first  It's in assembly order, I'm editing as I build her. Then I edit one last time, thank God. I learned to hate said manual by the time I tore the truck down, more time in that than handling parts.
Dry read I can do, they're not long-winded like my posts . Turns out 16 years writing computer specs. & business process lent itself to said manual, but this beats anything I've done past. The challenge was I'm colored blind and didn't recognize 95% the parts. Now I can describe 12 aspects to a bolt if it suits, and the ends of every wire & gauge. Less the guts of a fuse box anyway, I don't go into the core on anything mech. or elect. |
Great progress.
This documentation is (Top Notch)
I would be in for a copy.
I am sure you would start a separate thread for that though.
Nice attention to the details.
