Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 374 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 374 | I received this book as a birthday gift from my girlfriend. It looks like it has a lot of good information for our needs. I have not gone cover to cover yet but it appears pretty thorough. I did a search on this site and only found one reference to it in the last 5 years (there was a couple of references to another 'Toboldt' Paint and Body book). I thought I'd share the information on it here. Its' a neat old book and I'm hoping it will be a valuable resource.

I've see the cover before, probably on ebay, but never been able to flip through it. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Hmmm, wonder if its available from some old book site?

I found my copy at a flea market 20+ years ago and it contains information not found in the GM manuals. Congrats.

It's just a basic repair book, It does explain things a little more clearly to the novice repair person.
