Euro Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Discussing with my dad on what i wanna do next to my car the other night, i told him about doing a bucket seat swap....he asked if knew where the build sheet was...and i had no clue, never occured to me where it is So im asking the huge chunk of you guys that have taken your interiors apart many a time.....have you ever found it? would it be inside a seat? our monte(see sig pic) is probably located in the drivers seat any ideas? answers? thanks guys Quote
slick Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 I've had my carpet out, sound deadening material out, seats out, everything, and still have not found one yet. Quote
Robby1870 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Ive had the interior apart on my old 92 and the STE and found nothing Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 I've taken everything but the carpet out of my car, and never found anything resembling an old school build sheet. I think the SPID in the trunk is the closest we've got. Quote

Its like $35 and you get all sorts of paperwork. Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 whats a build sheet, lol, like, im not getting what u guys are talking about at all Quote
Euro Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Posted July 25, 2005 its basically a detailed version of the SPID(the thing with the RPO codes in the trunk) tells when /where the cars built..what date etc Was an interesting question i had....doesnt look like we've got em...thanks guys! Quote
MonteC Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 i found the one for my monte under the passengers seat, but ive had everything but the front dash out of my grand prix and have unturned nothing. Quote

GP1138 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 I vaguely remember someone with a GP finding one of those. Quote
stockgp Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 i've had the ENITRE interior out of my car and never found one :? Quote

fastbird232 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Um, vaguely remember where that was? Quote
supreme_style21 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Um, vaguely remember where that was? Those build sheets could be anywhere... and not all cars had them... kinda ended up being trash that was thrown in and became collectable. Quote
Heza Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 well kids...youre in luck. i have mine. ill get pics up later. Quote
Heza Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 why it is so big....no idea. anyway...thats all my documentation of my car. Quote
Heza Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 got it all in an envelope from the original owner. Quote
manitcor Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 IIRC back in the day they used to be hidden in the car somewhere, these days you get it with the car's paperwork when you buy it brand new. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 When I tore the Bonneville's back seat out, i found the factory scan tag. It has the barcode, make, model, VIN, on it plus the final build date and time written in. Quote
Justin Posted July 26, 2005 Report Posted July 26, 2005 Older cars used to have them on top of the gas tank. My Vette and Venturas' were both there. I've pulled the gas tank on an almost brand new Taurus and the build sheet was on there, I felt bad for a split second about throwing it away until I realized it was a Taurus. I guess lots of techs might have said the same thing about all of our cars back in the '90s. Quote
