Just read an article in an older muscle car magazine that said that Arlington and Flint built cars did not have build sheets. Being new to the build sheet thing I am wondering if that is true or not? If so , it would be a little harder to document a car coming from one of these assembly plants I would assume?

Bull. I have a build sheet for an Arlington 70 Chevelle (http://www.chevellestuff.com/70velle/buildsheets/bs_arlington_green_ls6.jpg), an LS6 to be exact. Can't say about Flint, don't have any from there.

Thanks Dale, the magazine article was LS6 ID Guide on page 46 of Musclecar Review from April of 1991.

perhaps these two plants had a process in place to try to throw away built sheets as the cars got assembled, but I doubt that they used some other process to communicate what parts to use on each car.
