Try some lacquer thinner in a pan like a cookie sheet.
Lay it in there and let it soak a little then take out and see what it looks like. Then repeat if necessary. BTW, cool sheet!

That's the body shop inspection ticket.
The inspector (that's the actual job classification, as opposed to the production operator) at the end of the area would work through his checklist and make sure everything is correct and either buy off as correct or circle the offending area. Once the repair guy completed the repair he would buy it off by punching out that item with a special hole punch. The hole punches were varied so that you could tell who did the inspection and who made the repair. Some were hearts, moons, clovers, numbers, etc. There would be an inspection ticket for each area of vehicle assembly (body, chassis, trim, motor line, axle line, front end sheet metal line, final line), typically LH and RH side plus pit, and as the vehicle came together the various tickets would be stapled together. That bundle followed the vehicle all the way off the end of the line. The repair tickets could also be used to flag what work remained before shipping. The vehicle would be parked in the back lot and the ticket smashed in the vent window, or rolled up in the door handle, or placed under the windshield wiper blade to signal it needed heavy repair, or paint repair, or light repair. God forbid a young engineer pulls the ticket to look at it and then puts it back in the wrong spot! Once all the repairs were complete and the vehicle was shipped that bundle of tickets was thrown away. K.

I've got a couple sheets like that from a '68 GTO I owned years ago. It had to be sent back through the body shop to adjust the trunk lid if I remember correctly.

I've never seen one
Pretty Cool Looks like maybe it was a spare/scrap/loose sheet that wasn't used. Can't see any markings or punch holes. Hope it cleans up |
