I was taking off my door panels because my car is about to have full paint and body as I posted under color is everything and I found a very cool sheet of paper behind my driver door panel. The panels were so nice I just assumed the were repros. I was wrong lol. :laugh:
Yeah Phil It is just not fair, is it? :laugh: Hey, I was golfing in Vegas and Denver a couple weeks ago. They just don't have the same winters we do. :rant:
Hahaha well thats Texas for ya. It actually got to around 80 last week but has cooled down this week....but not enough to prohibit tshirts in the afternoon. Is it a little chilly up there or something? :laugh:
lol, if they do post on here and lets see those build sheets !!! Have many other people found them in the door panels???
Buildsheet Nice find - photocopy that puppy, and protect the original in a clear plastic folder ! :TU:
Man-o-man I hope I can be that lucky when I start pulling apart the 71 vert, great find and it could hardly be in any better condition!!
T shirts and build sheets Up here in Maine I was out junkyarding in sneakers 2 days ago [ no T shirt though ], today I was cleaning up snowfall from hell ! I'm jealous Bo !!!! :rant: I never found one behind a doorpanel, and I have torn many many many A body Buicks and others apart...GREAT find ! Under seats has been the usual for me, but lately under the GAS TANKS has been where I have been most fortunate locating build sheets. Anybody else out there found one in a strange place ? I have heard of them under the carpet as well, but this is the first I had heard of a behind the doorpanel. Most of my parts cars and such have been convertibles, and due to our wet climate most paper is long since destroyed [ along with interiors ]. Maybe it differs on what region of the country they were built in ?? As it started snowing yesterday I found myself running through a snowstorm to the back end of a field to check out a 62 or 63 Special Convert with a 215 ALUMINUM V8 , it was all there ! Snow didnt stop me ! Anyone have info on usual build sheet locations per GM ???
Ah Ha Been there, & done that. :ball: I think most Flint and Fremont locations are on top of the gas tank, and Framingham seemed to stash multiple sheets. :Brow: Happy hunting. :3gears:
While restoring my 1968 GS 400 back in 1988, I found an option sheet rolled up inside the left front A-pillar when I removed the dash assembly. Was just like finding a Dead Sea scroll! Car had the rare rocker panel "Rallye" stripe, documented on the sheet . Car had original paint so I knew it belonged there, but nice to have it on paper for the goofballs that asked me why I put a "GT" stripe on my Buick.... Jeff
Note to self Note to self, pull A pillar assemblys out of the 70 GS455 shell in the back of the garage this afternoon. :TU:
I found an assembly line inspection sheet in my car behind the driver's side kick panel all rolled up. Had a little bit of black overspray on it, but you could still read most of it.
