What is this sheet called?
I ordered the build sheet from the museum but I also found this second sheet named trim/chassis in the car. Does it have a name other than trim/chassis sheet? Is the date & time on the top right of the sheet the time & date it was built? I didn't see anything like this with my C7.

I can't speak to C8s, but my C7 had several similar sheets under the passenger seat, one pinkish as I recall (I'm out of town and can't check them). I always wonder if dealers simply toss such interesting build "docs" if and when found, as a matter of course?

They are called the BUILD SHEETS. There are usually 2 or 3 total.

Mine still has the original masking tape that held it to the chassis as it went through Bowling Green Assembly plant.
All of My build sheets were laminated at the NCM delivery, and I also got the original window sticker that was never applied to the cars window.
When I toured the plant, I saw these build sheets taped to each car as it went through the plant, I think they are very special.
NCM delivery staff are very careful to handle each sheet carefully and not damage them in any way, retaining the factory original condition directly to the customer..

Checked my C8 Corvette fact/reference book by Casey and on page 14 he has a sample photo of both of those sheets:
The top one is called a "Consolidated" build sheet and has a lot of RPOs for your car.
The bottom is sheet is a specific "Line" build sheet and can be from the Chassis Main Line, Door Line, etc. and can have the masking tape on them. Some RPOs but more broadcast codes used for pulling the part. You cannot get these Line sheets at the Museum. Hang on to it.
I notice your color is GPH "Tactical" which is Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. The Casey Corvette book talks about that too on page 22. Tactical is the GM Corporate name, while Red Mist is the Stingray Merchandising name. The book says your primer color was Gunmetal gray (there were two other primer colors used).
Hope this helps

More useless info to accumulate. Frame it for the den. Put it below your Seaworld renewal.

It is a build sheet. While in college I worked at Nummi, now Tesla in Fremont, Ca. These "build sheets" would be on the window and are an identifier as to which options the car got. So if you were on the "wheel/tire" line you would have a specific spec. Now that was 20 years ago so things might be a bit more simplistic
