Shell Valley build
We got the radiator back from the radiator shop and it went back in with no problems or leaks. This is a picture of the car after returning from a cruise/test drive around Buddy's yard and leaving 2 long black streaks down his driveway.

CSX 3274 Engine Bay
CSX 3274 in the pit area at the Steamboat Springs, CO. vintage races, 1998. There is no choke on this carb and repeated backfires while tuning kept the mechanics from leaning in too far.

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.
