Scorpion Make A Wish Stinger Build Donations

[scorp11]

We are on our way to getting all the parts tracked down and people have been very generous with their time and money.  I am always impressed with how generous members of the vintage community can be.

This post will be the point of reference for all those who have been given their time, money or resources.  We are in the process of merging our lists, so give us a few days to get everyone's info here.   If I miss something or get it wrong, just let me know and I'll correct it.

For those wanting to follow the sled build, you will find that here: https://vintagesleds.com/bs/index.php/topic,68306.0.html

There are some posts on the engine buildup.  I could only find one, someone else can add links to the others. : https://vintagesleds.com/bs/index.php/topic,68724.0.html

If you wish to make a donation, you can send check / money order / cash to Jack or use paypal to donate to the paypal account we setup for the build.

A paypal account has been set up for the charity build. The address is ScorpionBuild@gmail.com. Mark it as a gift so we don't have to pay fees on it. My name is on it as I had to have someone, so you will see Kevin Woeste as the name it goes to.
