No. Is it a recent book, or one written shortly after the shutdown?
========
Written in April, 1977. Blue cover with a line art Bricklin on it, doors
open. Pictures inside of the factory, frame being made, 5 cars on a car
carrier, parking lot outside factory filled with cars, and a local disc
jockey, Charles Russel, and his album "The Bricklin and other sound
investments".
Haven't read it yet, though. Just bought it on EBAY.

Try some Snap ON 6 point sockets. Other cockets are chamfered at the
bottm, Snap On gives that extra little bit. And if the bolts are 9/16, try
a 14mm 6 point socket.
