Default Build Sheets

Does anybody know of a service that can recreate my build sheet from my fender tag?
I just got my tank down and low and behold, it isn't there.

NOPE.

Also, the trim tag on the door pillar does not include nearly enough information to described the options commonly shown on the order copy (tank sticker).

There is someone on ebag who will create one for you, and even age the fake.

We don't even know what year you have. Anything built at Bowling Green can be duplicated.

Default Build Sheet

Sorry Gentlemen, My car is a 1970. And a fender tag is a Mopar term. On my '70 Charger there is a fender tag that is riveted into the front left fender. By decoding it you know exactly everything about what options your car had and where and when it was built.
And yes, I am a big Mopar fan. My Charger is Plum Crazy Purple with a white hat (vinyl top), with a strong 500 HP 44o, numbers matching car. Ya just can't beat those hi impact colors.

Sorry--the bad news is you're out of luck---if not on tank, a slim sometimes under the dash, a slimmer sometimes on chassis. Any re-creation would in my opinion be fraudulent. Good luck with your 1970. Have you checked out the 1970 Registry--very interesting site--I can't remember the ladies name--she was a regular on this site years back.

Default Build Sheet

And the good news is that I did find it. My mechanic was given a small box of paperwork when I bought the car. He put it in our safe and as we didn't discuss it for a while he forgot it was there.
So not only the build sheet but the Protecto plate, copies of each title from previous owners, receipts for everything from ball joints, paint right down to washers and wiper blades. Original bank loan agreements for the original buyer, transfers, hand books and a ton of other stuff.
Now it goes in chronological date order by owner along with all the pictures etc.

your mechanic has access to your safe?????? that's one trustworthy mechanic!! can't say that i've ever met one that i would give my safe combo to.

congrats on the find though, sounds like you got the whole history/documentation on the car. that's good stuff. i have a 70'coupe with protectoplate and build sheet also. what equip does your car have? rick

Default build sheet

My mechanic has worked for me for 12 years. Be is as **** as they come. I'd trust him with my daughter. My 70 is a numbers matching 454 Daytona Yellow convertible, no power steering , power brakes or AC. We are putting a crate 502, complete rebuilt turbo 400 trans, rear end, suspension front and rear, new steering box, 4" black side pipes, new top, 1982 aluminum wheels, interior and a L88 long hood with a mural on it of 502 ok each side like a molar with pistons blowing through the hood shattering fiberglass and blowing up the 502's.
The final product is going to be mind blowing!
And the beauty of it is that everything is bolt up and I have every original piece.
