Build sheet help
I have a 69 corvette in which my father purchased brand new. This morning I was able to reach through the gas fill area and grab the build sheet on top of the gas tank. It came right off and is in decent shape. I had to to brush off lots of dirt and dust. Is there anyone I can send this sheet to have cleaned, restored and decode this sheet? Any help is appreciated.

Most of the codes you can check online - can you post a photo or is it unclear? I can check my book as well for you.
Here are copies of mine ((you should be able to see some of the codes/descriptions)

Place it in an "archival" quality, non-acidic plastic jacket. Some even have UV protection so the sun's rays don't cause the ink to fade. If you want to be certain of how to care for it/clean it, etc., call a document restoration service.
DO NOT use Scotch tape to 'stitch' pieces back together.

I recieved my two tank stickers when I bought the car - one is loose and in three sections and the other is sealed in some type of plastic - but they used Scotch tape on it prior to sealing it up.

Isn't there someone on Ebay that can make you an exact (new) duplicate? If not, check with the Camaro crowd. They might know too...
