Oil Pan modified
Pan had a big hump in the bottom plus the oil drain plug. I had the hump removed, repositioned the drain plug and put a 3/16 thick skid plate on the bottom. I try not to but sometimes the engine "kisses" the high spots in the roads in Oklahoma

Arntz notched cowl
Arntz loved Chevy engines but with the engine set so far back in his chassis, the distributor ended up under the cowl. This notch was his solution on some late Type 3 cars and all Type 4. For those of us with Ford engines, it allows plenty of room for the oval Cobra air cleaner or dual quads. This notch did not appear on any Butler cars.

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.
