Was very lucky to end up with this old racer.
One of my favorites for sure.
Jim Schauer's Scorpion with an original Andy's painted body. Haven't seen many that ran the Mip trans.

It would be sweet to see some VHS quality video of it running BITD!

Re: Vintage Mip Scorpion racer
That's a great time capsule for sure .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: Vintage Mip Scorpion racer
Looks great. I’d like to see more pics of the MIP tranny on the back.

Re: Vintage Mip Scorpion racer
JG Manufacturing made a mount to use a MIP box on the Scorp. He also made mounts to use it as a lay down style. These pics are a Beetle project I need to finish up one of these days.

Re: Vintage Mip Scorpion racer
I wonder whether you could flip the motorplate and make it a mid-motor?
