Questions...
MPG,
I may be way off here... but from the looks of it at first, I was thinking it might be an early version of a "King Cobra" brand replica. My friend had a KC with a BB Chevy in it years back. Had the same type rear leafspring setup. One way to tell is the mounting and latching hardware used for the doors, etc. Just curious... Is the wheelbase of this car longer than 90"? Maybe its the picture, but it looks longer. The distance from the door past those large side-vents to the front fender opening seems longer than a typical 90" style body. Measure from wheel center to wheel center and let us know.
No, IMO it's not a Butler/Arntz car unless someone changed a lot. The body is much different than a Butler/Artnz. i.e. rear fenders and low doors are a dead giveaway on a Butler/Arntz car.
Also, can you post some engine compartment pics, to see how the motor sits/mounts, to see the firewall, etc... and to see what's in front of the motor, how radiator mounts, hood mounts, etc - if possible?
