Default This is an Orange Level (at least) warning!

I am driving out to the Left Coast in two weeks (roughly 11/25 ETA through 12/8 or until my money runs out). Starting out in S/F area (Turk, JAMO Pa Buckley) then driving down to Monterey area---en route to Santa Barbara/Ventura!!!! Like to see/drop in on Butler guys in the area. Crickeys, may drive all the way down to LA---see Jerry Goddard, Jims-Gems and even my cousin!

In any case, I would love to see your cars. Drove my Butler for a year, re-wired and re-front-ended it. Drove it another 6 months and nnow I'm rebuilding the 351C---maybe stroking it. Winter project.

Let me know if you're available/amenable.

PS I will eat all the T-day leftovers you can doggie-bag! (ar-ar-ar)

Default Pat.....

...tanks (and armoUred cars)...Jeez, I was just hunting 4 Gasholes (gotta throw Dr. Pete in ther)---and Butler owners---how'd I get turfed over to the main site from the Butler one????
Anyway, I'll communicate more directly as things gel. Shoot me an e-mail, and then I can chat more directly.
I really don't think the other 1,246 Collie-FAWN-yuh cobra owners are anticipating a visit from the Cape Cod delegate! If, however, they are, just leave the Turkey-day Leftover doggie-bags on the lawn out front-----I'll be by!

Go Freddie Go - I have tried to make a trip left for almost two years only to get whacked by work - I'm jealous. We had tickets, rental car, maps etc.................. It will happen sooner than later.

No...My dad and I bought the business from Butler in '98, but got the royal f**king of our lives by Ron. It all went back to him, except the molds, which ended up back in Arntz's hands who proceeded to give me a royal f**king the folowing year!!
I know more than I want to about the whole smelly deal, though, and would be happy to answer your questions.

Default Orange Alert...gone RED!!!!

Just got in (Monday c. 2330 hours), via Sacremento. I-80 all the way. Putrescent 24' Budget Rentawreck POS. Underpowered 39' LOA POS and unfortunately an offering from the Blue Oval crowd. 6-cylinder DIEsel mitz torque convertor. Slow going? Oh my......Stopped at Donner Pass for a picnic (no, just kiddin'---t'was the Thanksgiving skiers! (Whatever happened to going to Granma's? ) I'm at 11 Doral Dr. in Moraga (which I think is Spanish for "Road Rage"...) Tomorrow I return the aforementioned offensive vehicle and renta cah. Then it's off (Wed/Thurs) to terrorize Butlerites and Coors-Can Cobra aficianadoes/avacadoes! Cell nombre is (508) 566-2254. Plan to head up and down Sacremento (Turk/Pat/Pete*) River Valley foist---then south'ds to Monterey, then S/B, then LA then LAX (c. Dec 10).

ALL HANDS! This, for the LAST TIME----Clean Out Yer Fookin' POO HOUSE(S)!

Pete C. I am willing---for a "moving" honorarium, to guest lecture about things oceanographic! How 'bout 30 minutes on benthic snooping and ship-finding? Ballard, JASON Project, Guadalcanal---OR pulling copopods from Greta's t'roat!

As it turns out I DO have a potential buyer for Steve Arntz's molds---however, I thought they'd been (ahem) "recycled" by EXTREMELY-RAPID oxydization! The potental buyer is also on Cape Cod, and he wants to compete directly with FFR but at the other end of the economic strategy spectrum---wants to build a few cars at a tiem.

Give me a shout on my cell #(508) 566-2254, I'll try to contact you. Read my above posts. I forgot to transcribe your # after calling you from the 'Cape---only excuse was that I was moving my brother-in-law to Moraga.

I will be in the Oakland/SF/Sacramento area until Sunday 12/5. Thereafter, headin' down the coast!

n6opv...you sound like a freekin lawyer. My "view"??? Interpretation??? Original agreement??
What's your point here? What is it you're trying to say? What knowledge of the circumstances to you have that qualifies you to make any comment at all?
Maybe you ought to just keep your ill informed opinions to yourself, because you obviously don't have anything constructive to post, and you don't know a damn thing about what you're talking about.

Freddy...I would no more know how to get in touch with those molds than you. I also would no more wnat to get involved in that particular circle of people again if my life depended on it, and I'd advise the same to you and your friend. These are not good people.

Whatever the case..., when or if you guys figure out where those tired molds are, please send me a private message. Need just one replacement body for an early Arntz car that needs some real help. Thank You.

The last I saw of the molds was amongst the rest of Steve Arntz's junk in a storage yard in Ukiah, CA, right along side the rest of the 20K or so of my tools and inventory which he stole from me. It was a high price to pay, but worth it to be rid of that pathologically psychotic schitzoid. Steve Arntz lives in various places, but hangs out mostly in the Bay area/ cantral CA. He goes by the alias of David Norman, and at that time was hanging around a ghostly looking corpse who called herself "Eve". The two were a pair to be drawn to.

I have nothing more to offer. Good luck, and Happy Holidays to all!!
