My "100% Bogus" Window Sticker

I have heard that the build sheets were printed so that anyone could read it, see where it says LAG....and go over and grab a spring that says LAG and put it on that car.

On the early cars....it was done by color....where the build sheet might say GRGRGR for a shock or a spring.....and theat meant go grab a green marked spring or shock.

They wanted to make it as SIMPLE as possible so that anybody of any intellectual level could work the assembly line.

 

Sounds complicated...And all that walking, i'm tired from just reading the thing

 

Before Quality was Job #1

 

I was going to add this, but you already did My 74 had paint dabs on the wheels, I think Orange & Green, and the build sheet had OG in the "Wheels" section. (I think, I can't find the damn thing)

 

The final result ... I ended up just formatting the text to print out on a reproduction Window Sticker from Osborne Reproductions ....

 

That's cool! Can't wait to see it in person at a show.

 

One way to get around the non original items such as the 4 speed, hurst shifter, and the Hooker headers would be list those as dealer instaled options. I have heard of a lot of cars that came with the headers in the trunk, something about liability issuses. Maybe you could list all the improvements as a dealer package, like Motion and Yenko did with chevys.

 

Just picked up my new Grabber at the dealer .....

 

I'd believe it!

 

dmhines,

Do you have that set up as a word document?

I want to know how I can do something like that for the transmissions I build.

 

Nope ... all custom done in Photoshop ...

 

Oh well,
I have some work to do then!

 

Nice job Dan! I was just looking at the Osbourne website. Is this product that you started with the DF0785 Ford Product Build Sheet? Thanks. John B

 

You'd want the window sticker ... not the build sheet from Osborne ..
