Maybe we should have a roll call to see who's still in.
Mine are all built but not all painted yet. If there are going to be 8 or 9 extra's I'd like to make em different colors. Maybe even trade some at Plugfest.

when you toss this one you can call yourself Throwing Splinters.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I'm only going to have 24 of the 26 done by the due date. I'm at school until Easter weekend. I'm thinking that I get two of the guy's addresses and just send them out separately to them. The worst part is that I have the plugs done, except I'm missing two tailweights. Let me know if that works for everyone.

I knew my only chance to make something that didn't get laughed out the door with you pros was to do something different..

same color, same lip.. oh well.. everyone can look at mine and Justplugits and see what mine will look like in 13 years of practice!!

very nice looking stuff
