Mike,
Thanks for the response. I will need to replace my Koni shocks as they seem to be very tight on the rebound stroke. Compression stroke feels ok but the car is riding like the front end is linked solid. When I tested the shocks off the car, you can barely pull the shock open even in the softest setting.
It is a pleasure to see that there are still some enthusiasts with the Arntz/Butler/Bennett/G&S lineage. I am the proud owner of Bulter number 000 which is the first Butler built, unless you consider Rons car the first which I understand was an Arntz. It is amazing how many people have no idea what these cars represent. Quite possibly the by-product of FFR tremendous efforts in marketing and the donor concept. Quite frankly I think Ron invented the "Donor Concept" as I donated a considerable amount of cash towards his livelyhood
While I may be a bit biased in my opinion, I consider our cars to be the best engineered from the standpoint of chassis (save JBL) and body. Does anyone know if the Artnz was in fact the original replica? I thought I had heard that there was one predessesor?
At any rate lets keep this community alive!
