    I found the final body production sheet for my car:grin: and was wondering what peoples opinions are on what to do to preserve it. I thought about laminating it as I have access to a machine at work. The other side of that is that I dont want to regret doing that with it. It is very fragile and I just dont want it to get any worse, as it is totally legible at this point.
    Thanks

    Jason,
    I usually slide mine into a plastic sleeve and then tape the end shut. This way no air can get in to hurt the sheet. I was always cautious of laminating build sheets, I worried about the glue reacting with the ink. I would also make a few copies in case something does happen to it.
    By the way, I decode them so if you want it done let me know. All the information I need is on my website. (classiccarinteriors.com)

    Cool

    Thanks Duane,
    I would like to get a window sticker made for my car. I am interested in this decoding so I will visit your website and see how it works out.

    build sheet decoding

    Jason,
    Last week Duane delivered my decoded, reproduction build sheet to me, and as I said in my post in The Bench, it's VERY impressive!
    It has every bit of information needed to build my car. As far as your situation, having a reproduction made at this time would be one of the best ways that you could ensure the info you have now will not be lost, as well....
    I highly recommend anyone with a build sheet or PBOF to let Duane do his thing with it!
