Walt & Forum During the editing of the article we contacted the author several times to go over the coverage of areas that might be able to be left out. We noted at the beginning of the article that in some cases it would be easier to use the instructions that come with the Toby bolts. While we could have cut some things from the article, we made the decision to provide the reader with more information than they may need rather than not enough. The article was also presented to Toby and he gave it his blessing. The author has also included his email address if the reader had any questions, concerns, or problems. We strive to get information from the most experienced and respected sources in the DeLorean community. Even with that kind of input, there will be times when some will not totally agree with the information given. We understand that and encourage you to contact us at gullwingmagazine(@)juno.com if you have any questions or concerns.
