Yes,that is one area to look for one,but I have never seen one all laid out & open like that there.
I usually find them rolled or folded up tighter and snuggled up against the seat frame/springs with a Hog Ring or two.

Well said. One problem is the hurry-up nature of most deals. While you're taking the time to research a car some other guy might come in and grab it. Yeah, it might be a fake but it might be the real thing and the other guy's coming to look at the car later today and he says he really wants it. Better hurry or it'll be gone.

Good point by the time I found an expert to help me look at a car it would be sold by then.

I agree people should do there research. But i guy like me who has never seen a real buildsheet or pop has a harder time spotting a fake. Also it has been mentioned on this site that some of this stuff is getting harder and harder to tell if fake or not. I guess if i ever find a car I will have to see if i can pay mr70 to come out and look at it for me.

The owners of this site should really think about your idea. I bought my car sight unseen, cept for pics, and slept every night like a baby til it got here a month later. The fact that 3 members had owned the car and other members who knew the car e-mailed and talked to me on the phone made the decision pretty easy. And I'm the world's biggest skeptic.

I'll have to post a picture of the build sheet for my ls6 that was in the lower rear seat,it's looks about like the one in question,but I know that mine is real. Just because a sheet is in great shape does not mean that it's a fraud. What else is going on with this sheet/car that I missed?
