Re: IML: Looking for production information

[joestill1@xxxxxxxxxxx (Joe)]

This build sheet (or at least the one for our car was) is a microfilm copy and not the original or a photostatic copy of the original, just FYI.

 

I was very pleased with the quality of the copy we received for our car but, interestingly enough, the personal check I sent still hasn't cleared my account and I sent the request more than a year ago.
