Doesn't any one of the cars in your fleet have an original window sticker? Yep, that's pretty rare.
It almost sounds like you're calling me dishonest

Absolutely not, in any way shape or form.

But having all that info puts you in a league of the few and far between. I doubt many cars are even in the orignal owners hands and even fewer survived with the original paperwork intact.

my convertible did not have one, but it would be nice to have a repro done...what would have to be guessed? on the bcs that is not found on the vin or fender tag?

I'll probably regret this , But

But , I don't see the point of a repop sheet 'IF' you have the orignal.
And 'IF' you have the original just wander down to any local printer and have a photo copy made. Store the original and call it Done.

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.

So what if a guy has only a partial sheet which contains the VON and SEQ # but is missing the rest?

I agree with the others here who feel there is no "good" ending if sheets are sold, and no good reason to make them for those that offer a good/complete sheet to copy (as mentioned, why would they need a new one if that were the case?).

Stop the nonsense already guys! Do us all a favor and destroy ALL fake sheets and equipment and give this insanity up. The ONLY reason to make fake broadcast sheets is very simple, to make money! Thanks for bringing our beloved Mopars into the Corvette world...

Hi Scott,
I actually agree with the quote above but have trouble with a linear train of thought as it relates to this industry. I manufacture MANY products that require licensing and approval from the BIG THREE. I can't understand the backward logic and the inconsistencies in the way many people feel.

When I reproduce VIN decals the customer wants them to look exactly like the original. If I am even a hair off in the appearance, it is not acceptable! These items carry federal implications with regards to their importance. I also am licensed to manufacture Monroney labels better known as Window Stickers. It took Chrysler over a year to finally grant the approval to do these. When I reproduce them, the customer expects them to look exactly like the originals with ALL the proper information. I am exclusively licensed to manufacture the seat-belt labels. My customers expect those to have the exact detail that the originals possessed. Just recently you and I have worked on the Carburetor labels and alternator diodes for these cars. Again, absolute factory detail and appearance was a mandate for these items!

Of ALL the items I mentioned the Broadcast Sheet is the LEAST significant with regards to actual "documentation" and legal importance. As a hobby we restore the vehicles to look and represent EXACTLY what rolled off the assembly line. How can EVERYTHING revolve around the same theme of looking "EXACT" but then one piece of the puzzle is viewed in a different light? I realize that Broadcast Sheets are considered to be this "holy Grail" but by whose authority? Is the golden rule really what it is or should it be changed to "WHO EVER HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES"?

Don't you find it odd that those who make a living from all of this documentation are also the ones who made the rules that Govern it? The Window Sticker and Invoice carries far greater importance that the Broadcast Sheet. I realize that they all possess information a slight bit different from each other but those documents (window sticker & invoice) are truly federal documents! The Broadcast sheet never was considered a legal document! This hobby unofficially/officially deemed it as such!

The "establishment" used the Build sheet for official documentation because they realized that their market (and $) would be considerably smaller if they relied on just the WS and Invoice as the major source for proper documentation. So what happens many years later? We tear these cars apart to fix them up and what do we discover? The "trash" that was left hidden by the employees from the assembly line. Since 98% of all people (back then) threw away things like the Window Stickers & Invoice, the powers to be decided to make the Build sheets the "new" accepted documentation of choice! It would have been difficult to build their business on the rarity of the Window Sticker and Invoice paperwork......wouldn't you think? So they make some rules and get everyone to suck into the idea and notion. And what do you know.....it just so happens to fall in line with the expertise and services they provide. Wow....what a coincidence! It is the classic case of, "If you build it.... we will come!"

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Jim. I did this SEVEN YEARS ago! It cost over $20K and I NEVER sold or offered them for sale to the public. For a moment there, you almost had me questioning why I originally did this!

Last week, last month, last year, five years ago, seven years ago, etc... you were not even aware of this scenario! Now because YOU know about it, things are suddenly in an uproar! I would have thought that everyone here would NOW know my intent had NOTHING to do with the almighty dollar. So did the situation become unacceptable because YOU have become aware of it or would all have remained "peaceful" if the subject matter were still unknown? It is quite comical how those who constantly chase and desire money, always conclude that it is the ONLY motivating factor for others! Again Jim, I appreciate you telling me my true intentions!
