    Why are most of the NCRS Technical Judging Guides $30, but a few, 1966 are $50?

    Re: Guides

    There was just a thread a day or two ago, where someone was looking for a 66 TIM&JG. What I got from that was that the NEW edition is not yet available. I am certainly no expert on this, but my guess is that the new manual is probably a very comprehensive book. I have quite a bit of NCRS material that I have purchased over the years, and my experience is that the prices on these items has always been more than fair. My bet is if the new book is that much more, your getting that much more information. You can be assured that the members who put this together, have done a heck of a job. While I would hope that the NCRS store shows a profit, I do not believe they would inflate prices to members just because they can.

      Thanks, the newer ones or the updated guides are probably the more expensive ones. Makes sense.

        I just replaced my old 56-57 Tech Info. and Judging Guide with the new more expensive one.
        It is worth the money!
        Very Comprehensive, lots of pictures and data sheets and a great index.
        A fine job was done assembling this manual.

            That is a question most likely best asked to the guys at the NCRS store. You can use the link at the top of the page, and I believe you will find a link for sending email or questions. They are very helpful . If they know when it is going to be out, they will tell you. It might be one of those things they cannot give you an exact date for right now, but you will get the best available information from them directly.

              Not sure. They took my order online, but the order does not indicate when they will be shipping the book. Hopefully it will not be to long.

                Yeah, they took my order online too (about a year ago). As I recall, I should have received it by the end of Feb, then the beginning of the summer, then the end of the summer then by the holidays... I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait, even though my restoration is now complete and the car has been Top Flighted.

                  The 'new' format (all JG books will eventually migrate to that format) is roughly 2X bigger in terms of page count. Price has been adjusted accordingly...

                    Congratulations on your car. As far as the book, that's very disapointing. On the positive side, I won't have to wait as long as you. Sounds like you have been waiting about a year.

                      I did pop the store a note, still waiting. With some of the things that have surfaced on the 427 apps alone I bet they have their hands full, but it would be better if we knew what to expect. Printing out a judging sheet only goes so far...

                        They should have a least warned people that the publication date has not been determined. I assumed that if they were taken orders that the release date is close. How do you print out a judging sheet?

                          From this web site, online store, there is an obsure pull down, then scroll down on the LH side to your category, say c2 library - then it displays all guides of all categories, a good start 10-25% of what you need imho.
