Skarlids was before Northstar Plating on the end of the down town part of Laurel street. I'll have to check out Kohls, I know Kelly.

I will have to quiz my dad. I grew up a mile south of the dirt track and would have drove by that every day.
Musta closed a bunch of years ago.

It closed late 60's, it was North Star plating in the 70's. Are you still in Brainerd?

Very cool. Went deer hunting about 15 years ago with a friend who had a '62 with a 289 Ford in it. When my '83 Hi Lux wouldn't go any further in the snow, his old Scout kept going like a champ. These little rigs really do well off road. Perfect size and geared low. Good luck with the project.

Live in Little Falls. Work 10 miles south off County Rd 2.
Guess late 60's means I was under 4 yrs old. May explain why I dont remember them.

Cool Scout! Never owned one, but have wanted one for a while.

I'm currently wrenching on a '69 Bronco barn find project; similar vibe.
