Just finished reading post "one of the best threads ever". Great post on summary of what an owner should/could know. As an original owner I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't even read the owners manual yet but only have logged about 3,500 out of the 8,000 miles our car has on it. Time to start driving it and paying more attention to this forum. Being a document junkie, what's involved in getting at the build sheet as mentioned in the thread located behind the front bumper. Thanks
If I recall correctly, there's the screws up top right beneath the hood, two bolts on each side attaching the bumepr to the fenders, and then a screw or two holding it to the inner fender liner. There's also the screws on the bottom that connect the bumper to the bottom panels. Not terribly difficult to do, just time consuming as it is almost impossible to get at the fender bolts without removing the headlights.
Easiest way is getting a copy from the National Corvette Museum. Not as cheap but you'll always know where the other copy is kept !
Definitely worth getting the Build Sheet from the NCM. But you should join the Museum first in order to get the member discount. The NCM membership is also fully tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
If you don't have the window sticker, you can order that at the same time.

I agree with c4cruiser - consider joining the museum if you choose to get a build sheet from them. Great organization and they help keep the history of the Corvette alive.
Lazy mans way out but worked for me back in 2009 when there as a part of their 15th anny celebration.
Thanks fellows. Some good answers and suggestions. Because everything works and has never been fooled with, I'm inclined to not disturb any of the headlight structure. Not as if it was at a bodyshop having the nose repaired etc. Since it's only been washed a few times and never been in the rain, the build sheet should be pretty nice. I'll look into the copy to go with some of this other stuff saved over the years. Is it worth anything?? Now that my old 57 is gone, I'm starting to get interested in the AE. again and looking forward to spring unveil in May.

Nice collection. Only thing missing is a Die Cast model
Nice collection. Only thing missing is a Die Cast model
Actually I have a really nice die cast model but it's coupe with the Indy decal kit on it. Still in the display box from Ertl I think. Wanted a roadster model for several years then gave up looking for one. Wife lost her 50th watch and several hats and shirts have came and gone. More odds and ends not mentioned. I hope other people collect this stuff too. Some good people and tons of info on this site after being away on the C-1 forum for a long time. Thanks...Staying tuned.
Some direction requested.
