IML: REPAIR SHOPS working on ANY of OUR IMPERIALS

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,
 That is an excellant idea.  AND to add to that, with the near
completion of all of the FSM's on the web site, we can PRINT off
the pertanent pages for the repair shop and let them have it to
reveiw, BEFORE ANY work is done.  IF they get the printed copy
missed up discard it, and you would not have to have a second FSM
for missing up on hand, BUT having a FSM on hand for your
personal use is GREAT!
