I just had a 1-1/2 hour conversation with Dave Walden about the possibility of reproducing build sheets. His reluctance, as well as mine, lasted the first 1-1/4 hours of the conversation until we came up with a tentative plan. We are thinking about the possibility of reproducing perfect BCS for cars that have their original, no exceptions. Creating indistinguishable sheets for cars without its original WILL NOT be an option since you can’t guess at the VOM or sequence number. We all go to extremes to recreate our cars as they were the day it was made so why not display it with an absolutely perfect sheet as it was the day it was printed. If a color copy works for you perfect, if you want true absolute for the car? That can be done also.
IF this does come to pass, the only sheets that initially will be made are the 69-70 bi color sheet only. If the market is there and can justify the production run volume required for the blanks, other years will be considered. IF we move forward on this plan, DO NOT call to have a sheet made for a car that is currently without one. We will have to discuss further a plan to reproduce sheets for cars that are without them.
In short, if you do not have your original sheet for your car, you will not be eligible to purchase a perfect reproduction. We are still discussing the logistics of the possibility of producing sheets for cars that are without them and still protect the integrity of the cars that have their original.
