Wow, my LA built Z28 was built about a week earlier (03B). I wonder if it has a buildsheet tucked in the right front fender?

Notice the yellow paint dab on the dist. ![]() [/ QUOTE ] Charley; Is there a similar yellow paint daub on the drivers side rear corner of the baseplate on the carb? I've had a number of unmolested `70 BB carbs in which all had a yellow daub, just wondering if the LT1 got it too. Thanks. Eric |

[ QUOTE ] I'm guessing the white mark was to know where to put the weight. ![]() [/ QUOTE ] Yes. [/ QUOTE ] And they used different color wax blobs to indicate the different weights...

[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] You can just imagine that build sheet taped to the firewall and when the assembly line worker comes and lines up the front clip to the car it get pinched in between the fenderwell and the bracket...Amazing. |

It is amazing... just like what I am sure is a Chassis build sheet on the rear... like john Z said... all the sub assemblies subframe, rears, body, front sheet metal, etc... had build sheets taped to them, when the cars went together the sheets were supposed to be pulled off and disposed of...
They left so much on this one that if you threw a Just Married sign in the window, it would have been right at home leaving a church as an assembly line! BUT CAN I HAVE IT!!! PLEASE? ![]()

I'm confident that some of the same "build Sheets" etc.. were left on other cars. They just didn't Survive like this one.
