Default Arntz quest

I met Steve Arntz at Sears Point back in the late 80s. He told me that it was a third generation body on a third generaton frame. I have only personally seen three Artz bodies (and a couple of Butler bodies) and all of the arntz bodies looked the same as the one I have. I never saw the hood that belonged to this one. The Arntz body and frame that I used to have did not have a noticable "kick out", but then again, may be I do not understand the term. 2 weeks after I gave him money and got some of the promised parts from him his shop was empty. I tracked him down to some where in Petaluma and some where in Danville. I never was able to find his exact location. The latest Gossip was that he was in ukiah. I also met Ron Butler in 97. A very nice , open and knowledgeable person. I know that he used to have every part that I would need to finish it. I have often considered trying to just finish it, but there is so much personal heart ache associated with the kit, that I think it would be better to sell it to some one else with a clear conscience and let then finish it. Thanks to everyone for the help and I will continue looking as I talk to some of the people who have expressed interest in it.
