  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. 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

    Jeff,
    Here is a description of what it would look like.

    The tires would be G70X14 with Raised white letters and the wheel covers are the full wheel cover, not the Dog Dish hub cap.

    It sounds like you have a large build sheet from a car built in a plant other then Flint. I would like to get a copy of this to add to my records. I have almost no 71 info and almost everything I have is from flint cars.

    Keith,
    I would really appreciate copies of both the buildsheet and Protect-o-plate. The more Info I can gather the easier it is to see changes between cars and or production plants. If you could also send the info from the ID tag on the firewall it would be helpful.
    I have very little info from cars built anywhere except flint.
    Here is my address.

    Again thanks.

    Duane,

    Yes i do have a large build sheet and it is from a Fremont, California built car. I will send you a copy plus the other items you need for decoding. Do you have a picture of what my wheel & tire combo would look like?

    Thanks in advance.

    Jeff,
    I probably do but I don't know how to put it on here. I will try but if I can't you could give me your e-mail address and I could send a scanned picture to you. I think I have one from a dealership brochure.
