Note:I forgot to change the font to curves. Look forward to hearing from you next week. Have fun with the car.

(find slot 1 on one part and slide it into slot 1 on the other part with that number on it) If there are letters also, then more than 2 pieces are involved (ie: 15A, 15B, and 15AB all go together)</p><hr /><a name="a3802_11"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.11">#11</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Yup. I understood all that. I was just wondering if there were any additional instructions, like putting together certain pieces as sub-assemblies, or where #17 went to (I did a text search and Corel couldn't find it either), etc.</p> <p>Thanks, though.</p> <hr /><a name="a3802_12"></a><p><b>From: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.12">#12</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.11">#11</a>] 14 May 2006</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">or where #17 went to</div><br /> <br /> Maybe a design change? <span class="e_wink" title=";-)"><span class="e__">;-)</span> </span><br /> <br /> I haven't tried it yet, but my gut feeling would be just start at #1.

Unfortunately, with all the small pieces, a dry-run will be difficult and a re-do, with glue, could get quite messy!<br /> <br /> It would've been nice, also, if the instruction numbers had a sequential list that pointed to the numbers in the drawing. For example, a vertical column of the sequence of numbers with a double (or more) set of lines pointing to each piece. That would make assembly a whole lot easier to follow, in my opinion. And it would've pointed out the missing 17.<br /> <br /> Not that I'm complaining. Free is free. I just wanted to know what I was getting into before I got started.<br /> <br /> - Carl<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 14 May 2006 by CSEWELL</p> <hr /><a name="a3802_14"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.14">#14</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.13">#13</a>] 14 May 2006</p> Buzz forgot to tell you this was a puzzle. <span class="e_shock" title=":O"><span class="e__">:O</span> </span> Now figure it out and tell the rest of us how you did it. <hr /><a name="a3802_15"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.15">#15</a>]<br /> 14 May 2006<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=3802.14">#14</a>] 14 May 2006</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote">Now figure it out and tell the rest of us how you did it.</div><br /> <br /> Done!
