Default Build Sheet Find

I already have a copy of the build sheet from the NCM and thought I could feel the tank copy but wasn't 100% sure until last night.

Pulled the spare tire tub off to check the diff fluid - getting ready for a road trip to BG/NCM over Labor Day and decided to see if I could catch a glimpse of the build sheet.



Looking good huh? I'll leave her right there for now. In case anyone is wondering, I'm laying on my back with my head towards the front of the car. I pulled the top piece of the spare tire tub down, almost in half (it's very flexable) - and there she was!

What is the NCM? Nice find by the way, your pretty lucky. I just pulled the body off my car and didn't find a build sheet.

I would drop the tank and salvage it now...that it's still in (what's looking to be) a good condition.

Same place. The factory glued a copy on the top left side of the fuel tank. Copies have also been found up under the dash pad, in the seat tracks and a number of other locations through the car.
Good luck finding yours.

Salvage it is early as you can. It will continue to deteriorate.

I might make that a fall/winter project - dropping the tank. For right now that picture beside the copy of the build sheet from the NCM will be pretty cool at car shows.

SBChvy, the NCM can provide a copy of most '82 build sheets (some were lost). I don't think there is a source for '81 and back.

As luck would be, if you never saw it, it would be there forever. But you saw it, you know what happens now.........
