Hey Folks,  Got a 68 fastback in and stripped out the interior and sent the car for paint, weeks later it came back today and I thought...would be nice to find the build sheet. Looked down and sitting in the detritus found under most fifty year old carpets was the build sheet all tightly folded and curled uo

Can anyone give me some pointers on the best way to unfurl and open with the best possibility of wow damage?  I assume steam plays a part.  was thinking a strainer over a pot of boiling water

It's in quite good shape and not a crumbling mess like most.

Where do you find s build sheet? I have original interior and perhaps you could suggest where I shou6lokk for a buildsheet.

On 4201 it was stuck under the front seat. You can still see the marks left by the seat springs.

Tin,

Are you taking your car to SAAC 43?

If you do,  I think you will be surprised by the attention that original paint gets.  I took my restored GT500 convertible to SAAC 41 and it barely got a second glance.  The car across the aisle from it got all the attention.  It was pretty much the same car in red, but unrestored, owned by "Poor Ron" here on the forum.  There was a crowd around that car all day, including me.

You may be right, I have several pictures of poor ron's car. I looked through the rest and couldn't find another red '68 convertible. Since I have a KR convertible, I usually pay attention to them.

Reread post, "same car in red".



Is this it?

Well, that's all I have. Anyone else have something to add?

A lot of good memories. The gas crisis is hard to relate to now, price may be considered high but no problem getting it. Some people have gone on to other things and cars have changed hands. If you don't know where they are, at least in my mind they are out there enjoying and being enjoyed.

Not sure what this is, was told it's some kind of replica.

While some may question the style of the day, there was something special about trying to look nice for the evening dinner and program.
