Title: Found the Build Sheet?
Post by: lalessi1 on 2017-02-13 10:20
I am working on replacing all the glass, felts, gaskets, stuff....... anyway, i pulled the right front door panel for the first time and attached to the back of the door panel was the build sheet? Crazy cool...?  Here is a pic.

Super!! Never heard of one being in the door panel. Usually under the back seat?

Nice find. That's the first one I've ever seen. Looks like it was a pretty bare bones car originally.

That is the coolest thing!  No doubt how and when the car was built!

The build sheet for the Edsel (only one ever I ever found not chewed up) was tucked under the left hand edge of the dash just before the door opening.

i have bought/own/parted out a number of 57 ford, in fact my next project on deck, is a 100% original 66A Ranchero 6cyl with 3speed....now, i haven't taken the right door panel off (so there may be still inside) but i have never seen the likes a build sheet for a 57 Ford. So seeing the picture you've posted, is very interesting.

Never knew Ford had a build sheet. Something to look for in the future.
