ha ha ha, everyones a wise ass!
I could have rushed it just to get it done, but I would rather take my time and do it a little at a time but make it exactly how I want it and not just settle to get it done. Plus when you are making 90% of everything from raw materials, it takes some time. Mine is one of a kind, and when it's finished it will definitely be something I can be proud to say I made that.
I also doubt highly the scorpion will ever be built in its stock form, and if it is it will only be until the tuber is finished, that way I have something to run while I finish the tuber. Then I have other plans for the axial. I'll be stripping the green off everything an polishing it all before I even begin the build.
