chevelle build sheets

[Rixls6]

As long as the reproduction sheet is easy to tell that it's a repo, I don't have a problem with it.

When you start making sheets that are hard to tell from the "Real Thing", then I think production of the repos should stop.
If it's not intended to help fake a car then the reproduction buildsheet should easily be detected as a repo.

The 12.00 window stickers that have been in hemmings for 20 years can fool half the buyers out there,they are VERY good . In order to make them easy to be detected i think theyd have to be written in crayon.

[Rixls6]

I never heard of anyone buying a car on the window sticker's say-so alone, but I guess it may have happened.

Rick, remember one thing.There are many buyers out there that think Ls6s had factory AC and aluminum heads . Do you think they know the correct font on a piece of paperwork?? Maybe the answer is to put "Honest Als Used Cars 5555 Main St Anywhere USA ' where the dealer name goes ???

I just thought taking the guess work out of the paper the document was printed on without going to a nuclear facility to get it carbon dated would make the issue of the fonts /ink being perfect not an issue-----"If the intent is for display to complete the visual of a restoration in the first place ".........Honest Al is good..

As part of this gentleman's offering are these buildsheets purposely aged in their apprearance?

[427king]

Seriously, if the intent is for display they should have small print stating "for displayonly" or "repro" on the page. Everyone has a right to sell whatever theyd like, but lets not think these papers are only being used for "display" purposes. People sell Elvis jumpsuits on ebay, if you think the King wore it, thats your problem not the sellers

[JoeG]

Gees and I bought one of those suits.. .........Yeah I know --Let the buyer beware.....It seems almost like this bogus document thing is becoming "openly" the accepted practice in the Hobby..... I Can't remember the last time a fella went on e-bay wanting to pass some bogus 50 dollar bills ... ---..

HELLO EVERYONE...BACK AGAIN FOR A FEW WORDS. I HAVE READ A FEW POSTS, AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, I UNDERSTAND WHAT BOTH SIDES ARE SAYING. I DEAL WITH THIS EVERY DAY. NOT JUST ONCE IN WHILE WHEN SOMEONE DECIDES TO MAKE A POST ON A WEBSITE. I DO APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT KNOW ME AND SUPPORT WHAT I AM DOING. BUILD SHEETS ARE A SMALL PSRT OF WHAT I DO. I OFFER MANY OTHER SERVICES AS WELL AS ORIGINAL LITERATURE AND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION. WHEN ANY REPRODUCTION PART OR ITEM IS MADE, DO YOU SEE THE WORDS "REPRODUCTION" STAMPED ALL OVER IT? NOT USUALLY. IF IT WAS, PEOPLE WOULD NOT BUY IT. PEOPLE ARE JUST HAPPY TO GET THE STUFF. SOME GUYS ACTUALLY JUST WANT THE BUILD SHEET FOR A CAR THEY HAVE OWNED FOR 20 YEARS. NO EVERYYONE IS A CROOK. BELIEVE ME, THEY ARE THRILLED THEY CAN EVEN GET ONE. ALL THIS DISRUPTION AND CORRUPTION SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. IT ALL FALLS ON THE BUYER AND SELLER. SELLERS SHOULD NOT MISREPRESENT THEIR CARS AND BUYERS SHOULD NOT BE BUYING THEM IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. BUYERS HAVE BEEN MISLED ON A CARS TRUE INDENTITY LONG BEFORE "REPO" BUILD SHEETS CAME ALONG. THANKS AGAIN FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ. JIM

If you have enough other stuff to do the quit making fake buildsheets! Also, turn off the caps lock; you are not faking a buildsheet right now.
