He's referring to the time built.

I exaggerate for effect but, in all serious, the block in my GTO was cast 9 days before the completed car rolled off the end of the line.

Revival from the dead but it took a long time but I finally got my build sheet framed. I haven't had time to check behind any other panels to see if there's another sheet somewhere else or potentially one in better condition even but this is what I have so far.

Nice display.

Make sure it doesn't get any solar load there which will cause it to decay.

In fact, you might consider making a copy and artificially aging it for display, and put the original away for safekeeping.

That's what I did here (copy of original title in display; original tucked away).
