Found another build sheet

[sheetmetaldan]

Hi everyone! I`ve been long overdue from this site and from doing any meaningful work on my Barracuda as well! So I decided to start recovering my bucket seats with some new skins from Legendary. Much to my surprise when I pulled out the drivers seat and flipped it over I discovered yet another build sheet! :icon_lol:
This makes the third build sheet from my car the first two belong to my vehicle and I assume this one does too, but if it does not I will do my best to reunite the tattered remains with it`s rightful owner.Unfortunately this one looks pretty shot but I will do my best to get it out as intact as possible.

Cool. I found 3 in mine, and one is in red ink, as the machine needed to be restock of material.

I'm jealous !

I've had ten e bodies so far and not one single build sheet. Congrats that you found another one. That's really awesome!

 

[DetMatt1]

One, just one, that's all I want!!!

I found 1 under the back seat and another under the split bench front seat.

Welcome back Dan !!! a nice surprise!! Post a pic when you get them done. My original white seats got swapped out for black ones a long time ago in the New England area. Anyone have it 70Chally FC7 white gut/white stripe black top 383 auto ??? I have a sheet that was in one of my seats just have to find it, not for my car. One seat was from a cuda and one from a Challenger both 70 not sure which seat I pulled it from till I find it.

Yeah, unless a car has been untouched or with somebody for a long time....they seem to get lost or destroyed beyond use. I was very fortunate to have all those in my ma's car. Unfortunately, I'm not going resto/stock, so they're just historical history.

front seat, back seat.........where did you find the third one???? My front seat sheet is not there. Guess I will check the back seat. I did find an inspection sheet on top of the glove box when I pulled it out. Old brown paper with different things for them to "OK" including AC check

 

[mmissile]

If I remember correctly...one was where you found your inspection sheet. All were very nice.

This latest build sheet one was under the drivers seat. I`m pretty sure the other was behind the rear seat back. One was given to me when I bought the car not sure where it was found though. Oh I did get the seat recovered came out quite nice. This was my first attempt at recovering seats. Had to repair the foam too... piece of cake! :eusa_dance:

Hey Reborn, Could you post a picture or two of your inspection sheet. I have not found one of these yet and would like to look at one.

Your seat looks great!

Did you take some foam from another seat or ?

I found some white foam sheet material not really sure where it came from (looked like some kind of open cell type foam packing material) I bet craft stores or an office supply place would have it. I found it literally an arms length away in a box of crap LOL! I said hmmmm this might work! :icon_cool: So that and an $8 can of spray glue was all I needed. I just cut a small shape of the damaged spot with scissors glued it down and repeated each step with a slightly larger piece until it was flush. Three or four pieces was all I needed to fill the bad spots. This stuff was soft and pliable just like the original foam. Easiest and cheapest repair I have made on my car by far!

Here ya go Cuda Hunter. I don't know how in the world it managed to stay on the top of the glove box. I removed the box while replacing the dash vents and it was just sitting on top,,,,

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Wow! That is awesome to find! In pretty good shape as well!

 

[Cuda Hunter]

Is that a sheet that came with a new cuda when you bought it? Or was that a sheet that someone on the assembly line used ?

Does it have any identification numbers for your car on it?

thanks for posting it up!

 

[reborn73]

It appears to be that someone marked and filled out as it went down the assembly line. I'll double check, but I don't recall any car specific #'s. I was just shocked that it had survived !!

No problem at all Cuda Hunter. I`m just glad I made the post and reborn chimed in with his inspection sheet, something I never knew existed. I want to check the top of my glove box now! As for my seat I can`t notice a difference with the different foam.
