Stangnut Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Being an avid collector of anything Mustang, I was wondering what happens to the build sheet once a car is completed? I know they're no longer left in the car. Do they just get thrown away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustard Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 We dont use build sheets as in the past. They have computerized the system, they print commit sheets and display them so that they only show what parts need to be put on a car at that point of the line. They are only laser printed with no writting on them so you could make your own if you wanted. Maybe Kinzti could help you gather all your information needed for you car (commit no, option codes, ect) and you can print up a book for your car. Nice touches you added!

Stangnut Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks, Mustard. I prefer subtle changes. In fact the black wheels are an anti-bling statement. :D So you guys don't use something like they do at the Kentucky truck plant? Here's what sometimes gets left in their trucks. 2006 F350 Build Sheet 2006 F350 Build Sheet Close Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustard Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Nope never seen anything like that, only other thing would be the pdi check sheet but if there are no field corrections dont know what happens to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stangnut Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Oh well. So much for that idea. Thanks for responding Mustard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DearbornDerek Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have seen those sheets before at DTP and Wixom. I believe they are used for dyno and final inspection. I don't think they get thrown in until the car/truck rolls off final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stangnut Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Too bad they're either not used at AAI or just not thrown in the car. I'm pretty sure the Mustang has more "fans" (or fanatics) than anything else Ford makes. How many F150 or Crown Vic window stickers do you think get laminated? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use them at roll test here at SLAP. Can't remember what the acronym stands for right off the top of my head been a while since I did rolls. You put them in the printer and all data from alignment through dyno, dynamic and static PCM test is printed out on them. It is supposed to become part of that vehicles permanent record. Even the failures will be printed on it. Used to be able to access the FoMoCo main frame through the SBDS (? Bay Diagnostics System) and download all data to include the wiring diagrams for your particular vehicle. It's been about 6 years since I worked in the shop doing EEC & PCM repair. If you punched in your VIN you could basically get a whole repair manual complete with exploded views of EVERYTHING for YOUR vehicle, not some generic "if you have this option" manual. I did it for my 1990 F-250 4x4. I know they have changed computer systems since then but I'm sure you can still get this data through a sysytem somewhere at your plant if talk with the repair guys or someone in CIM services. Hope this info helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kzinti Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 There is a server that has the historic bill of materials that covers all the build info part by part. There is also a server that has all the wiring diagrams and service info too. Not sure if they are available to the public though. Will check into it for you.

I work in AAI pdi and we are going to an all computer system so VIT tickets will be fazed out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stangnut Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) WOW! Talk about a wealth of knowledge. Thanks, Captamrica. Kzinti, any & every piece of paperwork I could get my hands on would be great. You never cease to amaze me with how helpful you are. el norte, that's too bad. I guess the days of actual build sheets in any form are over. Now I'm curious. What are these sheets called in these pics? What are they used for? Mustang Production Line Pictures By the way, I love the symbols they use on that sticker on the seat protectors. A cow, a seat, a light bulb, an airbag, and... Frankenstein!

rn4 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 MCIR stands for Mandatory Compliance Inspection Report , these cards are being phased out to save the cost of paper, printing and transfering to cd's. The use of QLS has made it possible for this cost savings. All the assembly plants in the US will do this. SLAP just eliminated their MCIR in December. I don't think were going to realize much of a savings since March is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanic Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 The sheets in the photos are the commit sheets that mustard mentioned. they only list the options to be installed on a short area of the line. they are pulled off and discarded and new ones are taped on as the car moves down the line. probably 40 or so used for each car. not sure exact number.

Mustang Production Line Pictures By the way, I love the symbols they use on that sticker on the seat protectors. A cow, a seat, a light bulb, an airbag, and... Frankenstein! Frankenstein sticker We at SLAP use 2 (one on each side of frame) on frame line 1 on motor line and 2 (one on each side of vehicle) in final. If you look closely at the sheets the letter or number in each square has a small letter-number combination in the corner. If you looked at the MCIR card then went down to that lettered line then across to that numbered square you would find the same code as is printed on the commit sheet, kind of like map coordinates.Makes it easier for the operator to pick and install the proper part to their particular portion of the vehicle. Trying to read the MCIR card is rather difficult given it's amount of info and the size of the squares. They are removed after the leave the area where they are needed and thrown in the trash. I don't even know if we use MCIR cards anymore. They used to be tucked above the left side visor but I haven't seen them for a while. The other picture, I have no idea. Maybe the cow is that the seat will hold fat chicks and the frankenstien is that you can transport idiots in those seats without fear of them hurting themselves. No disrespect to the fat chicks.

Stangnut Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 We already figured out the other picture. It's down a few posts in that thread. The cow stands for leather, the seat has the letters GT in it for GT style seats since they are different than the base model V6. The light bulb is for a power seat (only the driver's seat is power in the Mustang) the air bag picture is for the side air bags in the seats. They are optional. The Frankenstein (which has a date with it) is the "manufacture" date of the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I knew all but the Frankenstien one but had to throw a joke in, sometimes theres not enough laughter in the world. Hope nobody took offense to it.
