taping a broadcast sheet

[scott0729]

I just found my broadcast sheet for a 71 Charger SE. It is pretty torn up and I was wondering if it make a difference if I were to tape it back together so it will be mostly complete. This might be a stupid question, but I thought I would just check before i went and did something stupid.

Personally, I'd be tempted to have it laminated and then just store it someplace safe.

  sounds a good plan

Tape it from the back, lamination can yellow over time.

I always just slipped it in a page protector and packed it away with the rest of the paperwork.

Wish I had one.

I just finsihed taping the broadcast sheet back together, and was wondering if anyone knows a good site to decode it. I want to see what options the car has since the previous owner lost the fender tag during a failed restoration.

Lamination will screw it up. I wouldn't tape it either. Just put it in an acid-free storage sleeve as-is.

I have laminated a copy of my broadcast sheet, but I wouldn't laminate the origional sheet. But that is just my opinion.

Don't laminate it. Use an acid free sleeve. You can get them at a comic books store or I can send you a couple for minimal cost.

I know this sounds silly, but this is what I did for mine.


1. Get a high quality computer scanner and piece it together in that.

2. Scan the sheet at 600x600 or more, this will make it huge, but high quality

3. Print it on a nice quality printer on some normal paper, tell the printer to resize to fix entire page. Laminate that!

4. display it with the car.

5. put the original in an acid free sleeve and store it.


this is a scan of the print, just to show you it looks good.

i just realized that after decoding the buildsheet that it is not the correct one for my car. The vin numbers on my dash and driver's door do not match the build sheet i found under my driver's seat. PErhaps someone on here might be the correct owner of the buildsheet i found. The vin on the build sheet is WP29G1G186395.

Never tape it, never laminate it, just piece it together in a plastic sleeve, take it to kinkos and make a few color copies of it and store away the original.  As an alternative, scan it in the sleeve and print that out.  This is a color copy.  Kim
