night pikie and day howdies

Some plugs I finally wired up. Obviously the pikie paint is Smith influenced.

Pikie is about 5.5 inches and around 1.75 oz.
Howdies 6" and 1.5 oz.

You take very nice pictures of your plugs
or maybe it's that you do a real nice job on your plugs
then again, maybe it's both.

I like those

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.

Awesome stuff there. !!

Thanks guys. Got some hits on the howdies this weekend..real test is coming later in the week.

I thought the pikie would come in around 2 oz, but fell short. It's AYC. Going to perfect it more this year. Got some nice pointers from MAC . As for the red...that one was in the plug bag before I could take a pic.
