Default Re: 1970 Chevelle buildsheet should be fraud!

I've said this in another post, but very soon we will see services being offered that will authenticate documents such as build sheets. Try as they may, the fakers just cannot duplicate the composition of paper and ink from 35-40 years ago and slip it by people who have expertise in examining documents. The stained, wrinkled, and "aged" sheets may fool us hobbyists and our untrained eyes, but I suspect today's papers and laser/inkjet inks will stick out like a sore thumb under close observation with the techniques the document examiners use.

All it takes is someone with good knowledge of buildsheet codes and content partnering with some of these professional document examiners, and you've got a worthwhile and profitable side-business. With the prices that today's musclecars are bringing, I'm guessing plenty of people would be willing to spend a couple hundred dollars or so for assurance that a buildsheet was the real deal. And I'm guessing most of the fakers would backpedal if they were told that a buyer wanted to make their deal contingent on professional examination of the buildsheet.

Any takers? There are a few guys on this site that come to mind
