This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Options sheet?

Discussion in 'The "Paper Trail"' started by ibmoses, Sep 2, 2006.

    This was wadded up in the cowl area of my car and has black paint all over it. I was wondering if any of you folks know of a way to get enough of the paint off to decipher the info under the paint?

    The left hand side (which is the first column), of information is the only area that the paint has obscured the information.

    I can make out NOTCH BK SEAT A65, LAMP REAR COURTESY C87,
    SPEAKER RR SEAT U80 in the second column.

    TRIM PAD EMBLEM B22, A/RESTS DELUXE D15, CUSTOM REAR SEAT Y03 in the third column.

    MLDG DR GUARD B93, REMOTE MIRROR D33, CUSTOM RR SHELF Y17 in the fourth column.

    I was about to start scraping with a razor blade but figured I would ask for tips first...

    Thanks for any help.

    ooh so there is hope, where would this be, where did you find yours?

    I know carb cleaner and gas eat paint, but im sure theyll mess up the paper also.

    i couldnt find my build sheet so far, checked in the pillars, behind door skins, under the rear seat, dropped the gas tank and nothing there, all i have to do is look under the carpet before i find out im SOL.

    A pillar

    It was folded up and crammed in the cowl area right below the driver side A pillar.

    Good Luck

    Before you start messing with the paint, try an alternate light souce. Black light, red light, from the front, from the back, etc.

    Bert,
    That Build sheet was used by Fisher Body to fit out your body shell. There isn't a whole lot of info on these sheets, but as already stated, you can generally use different lighting angles to "see" the info that is hidden.

    Found the same one under the sound deadner on the passenger side angled foot rest area just under the heater box. It was fully readable! Gives M40 turbo 400 trans code (but no engine info) and exterior and interior colors and options as well as all body options like trim glass etc. Nice to have. Nice find!

    If you look hard at the lower right area you may see a build date.
