Tilton Firewall Mount Pedals
These are the Tilton 600 series firewall mount pedals I am going to use. I like them much better than "used mustang II" pedals.

Shell Valley build
Here's the front of the car after we removed the radiator. There was a problem with some work that the radiator shop did and the driver's side tank leaked like a sieve. The good news is that the engine fired and we were able to time it.

Here's a shot of the sleeve that Buddy machined up to cover the joint between the steering column and shaft going to the rack and pinion.

The runners are canted 15 degrees rather than 10 as most other manifolds.

Re-Designed and Re-Positioned brake pedal.
When we originally done the brake pedal, as can be seen in earlier photo, we used the standard size VZ HSV SS Commodore pad on the brake pedal shaft. When it was fitted, it was discovered that there was nowhere to rest or place my left foot, other than on the floor in front of the brake. The pedal shaft was straightened and the pad reduced in size. Now it's perfect.

I needed a bigger fuel tank than a mustang tank so I built a 20 gallon one.

Arntz / Butler door
This is the final version of the Arntz / Butler door. The inner and outer fibreglass panels conceal a 2 x 4 x 0.120 wall steel tube for crash protection and rigidity. A VW door latch, striker and handle let you in and out. A plate is welded on the front, to which the hinges bolt and adjust. The hinges are press formed from 1.5 x 0.5 solid steel bar and swing on delrin bushes. Unique to the Arntz Type 4 are the Mercedes door pin and socket (just above the latch) that solidly ties the door to the rest of the cage surrounding the passenger compartment.

The hood was bowed and warped so badly that we had to cut slots in the inner panel, fill with foam, and then add weight to level out the passenger's side. After the foam hardened, we put a layer of glass over the cuts and added weight again.

We used Buddy's metal brake and a chunk of aluminum plate that he had laying around to fab up a front license plate holder.

Arntz tranny tunnel
Shown here is the removable section of the tranny tunnel. With the big engine setback in all the Arntz / Butler cars, you can remove the transmission while seated if you desire. Only a few very late Butlers had this and all Arntz Type 4 cars. I have no idea what the many cutouts are for  Also shown are the two triangulation tubes that connect the center of the cowl hoop to the 2 main frame rails for increased rigidity. The 3rd leg of the roll bar (not shown) also attaches to the same point on the passenger side frame rail. This is Arntz Type 4 only as well.

We had to relocate the rear license plate light and bracket so that the license plate would clear the trunk handle.
