Default Re: build sheet

This piece of build sheet was found in the rear seat back in the springs. I've found nothing else in either of our Baltimore built cars. One was a February car and the other was late July. We were at the Grand Island Northern Chevelle gathering on the weekend and some people had copies of their build sheets on display. I enjoy the history almost as much as the cars themselves.

Found mine partly tucked under the sound deadner sheets under the back seat. My car was Arlington, TX built.

Jim,
as the owner of an Arlington car, you are very lucky to have found any sheet in your car. Seldom did that plant put them in the car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

They can be found in Arlington car, it is just very rare. Of the 150 plus L78 and LS6 build sheets I have, only 5 came from Arlington. Another plant that seldom threw them in were Flint. Leads and Baltimore are the most common followed by Van Nuys.

Atlantas Lakewood Plant was pretty popular too.
Look on the top of the glovebox,once the pad is removed,and on top of the Radio.
Don't rule out the headliner,or rear package tray shelf either.
