Nice Vettes, too bad the hoods wouldn't settle in properly.

Greg, The Chevy Titan 90 and GMC Astro 95 tractors were marketed from 1968 (as 1969 models) to 1988. Both were redesigned in 1980 with larger grilles (for improved cooling), so the AMT kits (produced in 1972) reflect 1969 to 1979 trucks.

Wow! Love it!! Just be sure to fill the trunk with rocks.

Nice builds!!

Sweet!

Nice work on the chassis, David, and I love the way you concealed the seam with natural-looking bracing! Looking forward to seeing this one at Desert Scale Classic!

Looks like my old drive in Colorado. Good but chilly memories. Thanks.

Great detailing, John. Thanks for outlining your techniques here.

Super.

LOL!

Hope Rusty had a good turnout and a great show!

Sweet! Thanks, Tim.

Excellent!

Nice!

And it just keeps getting better and better!

Beautiful job, Harry.

Yes, It is very complicated. The simple rule to remember is there is no simple rule. A couple of answers, however, to your additional questions: A '77 model year car could easily display '76 plates in certain circumstances. In that era, most states issued license plates for a calendar year. Thus, '76 plates would be issued during 1976 with expiration date of Dec 31, 1976. During that era, most American cars were introduced in September before the model year designation. So, 1977 Firebirds went on sale in September 1976, for example. A newly purchased 1977 car would have been issued a license plate with an expiration date of Dec 31, 1976, thus it would have displayed a '76 sticker. Sidebar: Most states no longer use the calendar year, but issue plates with an expiration date a year after registration. This was done to spread all the state's renewals over all 12 months rather than having all renewals hit on Dec 31. And, whether one plate state or two plate state, the validation tabs or stickers are placed on the rear plates, not the front plate.

Nice. Clean build of a handsome but often overlooked muscle car.

It is a good issue. (Got mine last week.)

That's quite a den of snakes, Ray! Nice.

Well said, Casey. One thing I'd add to that train of thought: When you put your work out there for sale or for publication, you are inherently opening your product to criticism, constructive at least and sometimes to more zealous criticism. It's just a fact of the internet life. If someone expects only praise, adoration, and big $$$, they are beyond naïve. If someone is unwilling to subject their work to scrutiny and criticism, they should vigorously avoid the internet. And, if someone is not as competent as they brag they are, they should expect to have their ego bruised. That's just another fact of the internet life.

Nice!
