[Shotimes] Wierdest place to find a build sheet?

[Donald Mallinson]

Bruce,

I found "a" build sheet for my '89 wadded up in the seat 
springs under the passenger front seat.  I did an article on 
these things for the Registry a couple years ago.

Each car can have several build sheets.  Some for the 
interior, some for the frame or other major assemblies. 
They all seem to have the entire car on them, but different 
copies are used for different lines.

As that section of work is completed, workers quite often 
stick these sheets somewhere in the car...why?  So the trash 
goes out with the car.   Think about hundreds of sheets of 
paper filling trash bins all day every day!

Most build sheets that survive are in the interior 
somewhere, under the front seats is a favorite spot because 
they are some of the last parts to go into the interior.

A few years of corvette had them on top of the gas tank, but 
only a few years, but it has become legend.  Out tanks go in 
a different way, and I don't think you will find any there.

Some get stuck behind the door panels.  Some get stuck under 
the hood way back by the area where the inner fender, fender 
and firewall intersect, nice deep spot where the paper won't 
be seen easily and cause customer complaints.
