Ordered the Window Sticker and Build Sheet through the museum.

 

Just back from my museum delivery and was able to get all the same docs plus several more. Neat story but sworn to secrecy as to how I got them. I also went ahead and bought the laminated Build Sheet from the museum to hang in my garage so I can preserve all the originals that I received.

Hi
Is there any way i could get a full original copy of your Towveyer Build sheet
and your Doorline Build
Trying to recreate mine
Have completed all other factory build sheets
Thanks
Can send address and phone number

 

When I traded my 2014 convertible, included the original build sheets and window sticker. I'm really had no desire to keep them. My 2017 only came with the window sticker.

 

I'm sorry for sounding uninformed, but I recently bought a 2016 ZO6 from a dealership and enjoyed reading various posts. Don't believe I have a build sheet either. People have mentioned getting something from the Museum (that's Bowling Green, yes?). How do I get in touch with them to obtain one for my car. Thank you.

Thank you Kent1999.

 

All "It's not fair" means is that you don't agree. Five-year olds use that argument with their parents all the time. It costs the museum time and material to make those up. You want to be special and "original," you pay a little extra. It supports the museum. To nitpick with the museum over this is insanely silly.

 

First, thanks for joining me as an NRA Life Member.

As to your post above, you responded to a post I made nearly two years ago and I fear you missed my point. I do not think it fair for a company or non-profit museum to ask a customer who has just spent $86,500 for a car (nearly $2,000 of which covered transportation across the street from the factory to the museum, and the museum delivery) to pay another $35 for a reprint of the build sheet and other documentation that they remove from the vehicle during the PDI and discard. I wanted the originals, not reprints.

I get it that the museum is always raising funds and must in order to continue to exist. But to do so in this manner, in my opinion, is going too far. It is fine for them to use their access to the factory database to print build sheets and window stickers for non-original owners who want that info for a car they have purchased, or for an original owner who bought through a dealer who did not save that documentation during their PDI. It is a great way for the museum to raise some funds. As an example, a couple of my friends who have accompanied my wife and I to the Bash for the last two years, each bought the build sheets and window stickers for their cars, neither of which had them at dealer delivery.

But when a buyer orders a new car, selects museum delivery and is then asked to pay another $35 for a reprint of something that was thrown away, I think a line is crossed that defines gouging. The full set of original build sheets should be included with the museum delivery. For those buyers who don't care for that sort of original documentation, they can throw them away, as I did the shipping cover that the museum saved for some reason.

Now, the rest of the story. Several weeks after I made my original post of this thread, I took delivery of my car at the museum. During my VIP factory tour, then plant manager, Jeff Lamarche, walked up to my wife and I and introduced himself. He asked me about my car and then handed me a full set of the original build sheets that came off my car. He explained that my request had found its way to his desk and he wanted to make sure I got the original documentation that I wanted. This was my first Corvette and I wanted to fully document its build (including the Museum Photo Album - another $700 paid to the museum) for my sons who will have this car after I'm gone. So, I was thrilled to have that level of customer service and got what I wanted and felt I had been treated fairly.

What is fair to me and what is fair to you may be two separate opinions. To compare me to a five year old and call me insanely silly was unnecessary to clearly articulate your opinion. I respect yours and wanted you to understand the history and reasoning behind this revived two-year old thread.

I told the dealer before I actually picked it up I wanted the build sheets when I came to pick up my car and pay for it !!! March 2014 was when I picked up my car that I ordered option by option at Hendrick Chevy near Kansas City !!! Wayne

 

My 2016 was the same. I got 3 or 4 "Build Sheets" but the mainline one which you can get a copy of I didn't. I bought the laminated copy and got a second un-laminated copy for my file.

My understanding is that this sheet (attached to the bumper of the car or hood) is usually tossed out ON THE LINE as it is not needed at some point and in the way during assembly. These sheets are the ones that are "pink" on pre-production units.

 

Did you get a Towveyer Build sheet...if so
could i get a full size copy of it to recreate mne
Also
What build sheets did yu get
Thanks
Joe

 

I got Door Line, and Cockpit. The ones shown in that picture on the bottom. I didn't get any of the other 4. The one you can order is the top left one. That one I ordered.

 

I took delivery (Courtesy Delivery) yesterday all the way out here in Hawaii... I asked ahead of time that the dealer leave every scrap of paper in the car. Below are the build related sheets still in the car.

 

My build sheet was in the rear hatch with floor mats.

 

Ah, so the REST of the story comes out at last! You just told me you got special treatment from the plant manager. No one else got this treatment. I paid for NMC delivery and I didn't get those build sheets handed to me. All you did is complain about the "unfairness" of it all, and you got handed a freebie. And even with that you are STILL complaining even though you got more than anyone else!

That's unfair!
