Thanks for the additional info on the wiring harness. As for me I picked up the casters, and gathered all the supplies around the track and I will try and get this thing together tonight or tomorrow night. I am anxious to get this body off and start sanding it down and at the same time try and get this motor fired up.
Its 97 here today and playing in a garage in the middle of the day with no ventilation is not my idea of a good time..haha

Thanks for the info on the frame. I am going to have to put something like that together . I am 5-7 so a 2 footer would work pretty good for what I want to do.

Hey Everyone,
I want to get this body off the car today and I was curious what you guys use to place the body on to work on it? I really want something that I can wheel in and out of the garage while sanding and such.

No new photos but I just need to disconnect the steering shaft and the body will be removed. I hope to get this done on Friday. I got rid of that rats nest of wires as well.
I will make sure I get more photos on Friday

There is a guy in Minnesota that has a trailer load of molds recovered from one of the sub contractors. Cant remember who it is though. I think it was Patrick or something I do remember at one time there was a guy who had a trailer full of molds. They looked pretty bad several years ago

Hey Kyle, Its funny that you mentioned that. I was scratching my head because the roof was not removable. But I guess it will make it slightly easier to get a rear window perhaps Also the front end is different than the other scorpions I have seen

So I did go look at it and ended up getting it for a better price. It does have the doors, they were both cracked. Rear window is missing. I am in Florida so I am really not concerned with the doors at this point. Front windshield is ok
Body is solid, pan looked good from underneath but I will know more when the body comes off. It is said that the motor needs a fuel pump, but at this point I am assuming it will not run. The interior is all tore up.
I do think its a good start. I am going to gut the interior this week and start the process of removing the body.

I have legal tint on my daily driver here in florida. I have 30% in the front and 15% rear. I have always said it was plenty dark enough for every day use.
