Talking Any Interest in another "Am I Crazy?" Swap this year?

I would set it up for after the holidays with the due date around 3/21. 2 plugs from each builder limit of 10 guys pick 2 of the catergories. I have some catergory ideas anyone else have some. Here are a few of mine.

Build a vintage plug replica, shape, size paintjob etc, try to stay true to the original.

Realistic Paintjob - as authentic as you can get

It went well last year for the most part, although Chumbucket never sent his plugs out . Anyone think it's a good idea, or is it too much work??

Each builder will make their plugs amd mail them to Canalman along with shipping money. ( for return shipping of your package) He will them divide up plugs to each builder and mail them back to them.

For catagories... lets try and get a bunch of ideas and we'll choose 4 or 5 for the builders to pick from. Last year I think we did; Original Creation, Realistic Paint Job, Go To Plug and Crazy Plug. I like the 4 ideas we have so far, anyone else have ideas? And with 6 prospective builders, we're doing pretty good on that end also.

Eben - I've seen your stuff it looked grade A to me don't sell yourself short!

NIB - 3 ounces sounds good to me

Breezy - YOu in?

It depends first on how many builders, but you'll probably have to make 2 sets of 10 or 11. That will be the ceiling anyway could be less than that.
