Well you found it! You didn't say how much of it you wanted to find. I feel your pain, that's disappointing.

Maybe there will be one under the back seat. Fingers crossed.

So under the carpet at first I wasn't sure so I got a large puddy knife and carefully peeled it up. Its pretty bad but I guess its better than nothing right? radio today, and I think the seat backing on the front. Nothing in the rear seating area

My FM3 car had a couple on the floor as well. Even in 1980 they were stuck though.

 My '70 Challenger was an LA built car, so when I redid the interior I didn't find any at all.
Thanks,   Al

Having ZERO experience here, can someone help an ignorant E Body lover?

Did Chrysler "stuff" build sheets into different areas of the interior?

Yup: They came on the back of the glovebox, tucked inside 1 or more seats and thrown on the floor to name a few places.

Yup.  The build sheet of my T/A was stuffed into the inner rear quarter panel which was only accessible after having cut off a section of the lower exterior quarter due to needing some rust repair! 

Talk about going from something bad to something really great!

To make it even more fun, I found a build sheet from a different car under my passenger seat

That is an awesome picture!

It's incredible the work it takes to to do that reconfiguration.

Another good place to check is behind the hard plastic seat backs on the front bucket seats.

It is what it is . . . I would laugh.  When I bought my hardtop in 1982, I found the sheet and didn't know any better and threw it away.  As a teenager at the time, what did I know . . .  :dunno:

yeah I know....things in life could be worse so it is what it is......this is my first real numbers matching anything so I guess I wanted it all....reminder to appreciate what you have. Now that does not mean that the seat backs are coming off and more searching is in play..... :)

6bblgt - how did you get a copy of your sheet.....cause I'm still picking pieces up off the floor of the car

Found mine behind the glove box, and from the heat and cold cycles over all of these years it just crumbled when I pulled it out.  Oh well.  Mine is just a 318 convertible so I wasn't heart broken.

not my car, but I found this nest behind the driver's side bucket seat back & assembled the "RECONSTRUCTED" version
