Actually in the first sentence he references people that were following his previous thread here:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12369
so the thread was mostly aimed at those people that were following but gave new people a chance to see what he was working on without having to have missed it since it was a bit buried in the original thread. and he did supply a parts list at least. Everything on the list is pretty easily obtainable and pretty clear to install if you look at the pictures...
Although I do agree that if he would have made a bit more of a clear reference(with link) back to the original thread that it'd be a lot more noob-proof, but it's not all that bad. It also explains how he made his "secret sauce" tube.
