digitaloutsider Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I've heard people say it's located behind the rear seats, but I took them out, and it's not there. Where is this damn thing supposed to be located?! :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patgizz Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 they got stuffed wherever and not all cars got them - there was a build sheet for every car but the line workers stuck them wherever... in the camaro world i've found them under carpet, in seat backs/bottoms of fronts and rears, on top of the gas tank. unfortunately i took my seats and carpet out and didnt find one. i know on c4 corvettes alot got stuffed into the framerails, we found ours there but didnt pull it out yet cause its really in there and would probably just rip it up getting it out. ive even found the build sheet for different cars in them.

supreme_style21 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Wow neat.. I'm gonna have to do some digging this summer. I've got my '89 ripped to hell... no build sheet in that thing. Then again, I'm not the only one who's owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 I've taken all kinds of shit out of my 93 GP(original owner) and never found one lurking in there...I'm also going to assume that volvo doesn't do this since I've ripped apart every damn thing on a 740 before save for dropping the gas tank in the car(fuel cell coming soon so it's gonna be ripped out).

digitaloutsider Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 We all know about the SPI label. That's not why we're looking for it. People on this forum have found their factory build sheets stuffed in their cars at random places. Not all got them, though. Just depends on whoever was working the line that day.

psykodevul Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 What is a build sheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 It's the first paper that's printed out before your car is made. It's stuck to a frame and sent down the assembly line. It tells line workers what the car has on it, and once it's put on, it's checked off and it continues down the line. At the end, they can either stuff them in the car, or toss them.

90TGP Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 For us Pontiac owners, we can get reproduction factory buildsheets from the Pontiac Historical Society. http://www.phs-online.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 WTF is up with the SIG Shaun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks goood LOL And you wonder why nobody messes with my GP........ It's cool admit it.. And for those that don't know, Dave's car is evil for the following reasons: It looks evil, plus it burnt down a car painting facility! It's true! Someone was going to get a paintjob similar to it, and that night, the entire painting place burnt down, taking the car with it. Coincidence? I think not.

fastbird232 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Yes, old post. Better than starting a new one and being told to search for this one. Anyway, has anyone had any luck finding any more since this was last posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihela816 Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Nope, I've completely dismantled 2 cars and no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 OLD THREAD! I gutted two Grand Prix's (92) and didn't find anything, although i previously had the build sheet for the petty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I found the one for my moms '03 Impala in with the floormats before the dealer had time to do the prep on it before we bought it. Needless to say, I snatched it. When I get a chance I'll scan it and throw a pic on here. As for the older W's I have no idea. On all of my old A-body's (77 Monte and 77 Chevelle) they were found under the carpets, seats, dashboards or above the gastanks or sometimes inbetween the metal in the trunk. Never have found it because I have dismantled them all and they are just plain old not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggar Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I know when I rebuilt the front end of my Z34 I saw a label with the codes Z34, LQ1 and M27 on the frame on the right side where the bumper attaches. As for a real build sheet I found one for a Regal behind the dash once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
