After taking ownership of the Butler basic kit. All other work (100%) except engine balancing, has been a single handed project from conception to date by this owner. Including Engine blue printing and assembly, Rebuilding Jaguar IRS. etc, etc. Progress has been slow due to Business commitments, traveling the world and just having fun. And of-course some serious life threatening health issues. But I love the car and am trying hard to debut it this year after I also do all the body work & painting. No wonder its taking so long!!
Russ I love your car too, A great piece of engineering & art. Just beautiful!
Regards,
Arthur Mitchell
