Well, it's getting pretty close to the end of 2010- I'm pretty sure many of us are NOT getting any projects done by years end! So, let's celebrate the ones that did get finished in this first year of the second decade of the twenty-first century!

Here are mine-

These are the only ones I managed to finish this year. They were for the Jairus Race Plane CBP over the summer.

I've had a lot of fun with CBPs so far, and even though this is not finished yet, I hope to finish this before the deadline of Dec. 1 for the CBP it's in.

One of the things I love about this hobby- all the diversity! All we need on this thread is a monster truck and I think we'll have all the bases covered!

Billy, what kit did that engine come from? Nice looking builds guys!!

Hey Clay, that engine came out of the Revel 2008 GT500KR special edition. It comes Supercharged but I took off the supercharger and used it on my ls1. The tunnel ram setup came from the revel 70 mustang and so did the velocity stacks.

Thanks
