Thats kind of funny cause for me that shop is a step back in time. Most shops have very few non-computer controlled machines these days. Go check images of Texas speed machine shop. Keep in mind those are some of the cheapest Industrial CNC machines available. Those older machines can do a nice job but they are mush more reliant on the skill of the operator.

Ya I love those manuals. The steps sound so easy. I guess if you do a bunch of them it gets easier. My first gen even looks easy but I really think its a young mans job. My back hurt like a mother by the time I was done.
Could have been a lot worse some of the GM cars require the whole air box to come out, look its only 6 steps. Step one remove dash..... .

I hate working on anything made after about the late '70's.
