1978 Build Sheets -this is why they are there and what is on them

(1/3) > >>

Macdave:
Copies of the cars Build Sheets were attached to all the major assemblies awaiting the cars as they came down the line. They were attached to the assemblies in whatever manner. Some were taped while others like the seat sets were just snugged under a spring or so. They were cleaned up later if not taken off during the assemblies attachment. Some of them got through because where they ended up was not accessible during the cleanup, like on top of the tank or under a seat. For the 1978 Norwood T/As, I have listed what each box # and what they are for and what will be in them. I will post each line of boxes in a separate post in case this is limited. I hope this helps all in figuring out all the mumbo-jumbo in the boxes as it does show many things about the car especially if you are one who wishes to put labels on things. although I do not remember many labels on the cars.
