The build is on for this Saturday at Tom Petersons place in Star Prarie. Looks like anytime after 8 is fine with Tom, so my guess is we'll get rockin' around 9. I need to get Tom's address, once I have that, I will post it.
Thanks and if you have any questions, just let Jack or I know.

As posted by others, the build today was a great time and a rousing success. Starting out. Jack inspects the tunnel to kick off the build !! Tom and Jack Trial Fitting parts. I see Jack and Tom. And Roger in the fan housing he polished !! The start of the day today. The BS starts early with a little coffee Now some good little workers, getting things done. Do you sense a common theme with Jack ? Jack and myself doing what we did best today. Sitting on our hind ends while others handle the heavy lifting. The Chuba brothers hard at work. Chrome and gloss black sure go good together. Mark and Chris fitting the windshield With something this cool, sometimes everyone just has to stop and drool a little Lunch break. The hardest the group focused on any task all day !! Now. . Just some pics Just in case you don't think the engine cover is shiny. You can see me, the chrome handlebars, the ceiling, and the chrome windshield trim in this one picture. Seeing Chrome in Chrome, now that is shiny "Chix next to sleds". . . And fellas, from what I hear, she'll whoop all of us when it comes to going fast !! And the perfect sweatshirt for the day !! I think we'll have a "you caption this" contest with this pic !!! And here is the build crew with the sled as we ended the day. Great progress !! From Left to Right - Kevin Alm, Paul Husmann, Kevin Woeste, Mark Chuba, Scott Tolve, Rodney Chuba, Jack Palokangas, Tom Peterson, Roger Larson, Chris Moore I want to thank everyone involved today. Tom, I don't know who cooked lunch, but thank them too. It was awesome. Things went better today than we could have hoped. It was a great group who had fun, and got things done !! Thank you everyone.

Kevin, Jack. Roger and i finished the build today! I want to personally thank Kevin Alm, Mark and Rod Chuba, Scott Tolve, Paul Husmann, Chris"pararailer" Moore, Kevin Woeste and Jack Palokangas. These guys traveled a long ways and worked hard on this build. Roger Larson lives here in Star Prairie and worked many, many hours on this. Scorpions are a passion for Roger and he put his heart into this. When you see these guys around, thank them please! These are some of the best scorpion people around. This could not have been done without their talents and expertise. Besides that they are all great guys! Thanks for the opportunity to be a small part of this. Tom Peterson

What a great final result. I really enjoyed following the last bit of this build. I like the red and black shirts, they look sharp.

Absolutely first class...way to go guys! Pararailers Grandpa (my father-in-law) had a 1970 634 Stinger and I drove it quite a bit (back in the day). BUT they never built 'em like yours in Crosby... a perfect Scorpion!
Sincerely Pararailers Dad, Dennis Moore
