You can do it online. Or you call them to place the order. I did this at the same time I got a copy of the window sticker.

Only diffence is, many years down the road if you ever have your car juged at a NCRS event, I don't think the repro will bring as many points as the original. If you want the original now is the time to grab it, I have seen many C3 build sheets that were useless(unreadable) after 10 years or so...

There is one in the drivers side frame rail up by the PS reservoir. You have to look into a very small hole to see it and from what I understand it is a real bitch to get out. I left mine in there for the next owner. :D

I'll see if I can find a pic of this location for you.

I got mine out from the passenger side frame rail in the engine compartment, through a very small hole. Came out in about 20 or so pieces. Taped it all to gether and made a photo copy of it.

My 90 builld sheet is on top of the gas tank. If there are any more I will find them this winter, everything is coming out of the inside. I think someone said they found one inside the frame behind one of the front wheels, don't remember exactly, but i think the post was on this forum.

Another reason folks with new C5s get museum delivery - they had a copy of my build sheet waiting at one of the stations on the factory floor...

...it does seem like, for C4s on back, Chevrolet didn't understand how important these sheets can end up being. When I score my C4, I think I'll be content with the NCM replica.
