Right Inner Wheelwell Clearanced for Larger Tires
Optional 'bubble' added to Midstates body to clear larger tires. Almost looked like a hoodscoop stood on end. They cut out section behind seats and simply glassed this in. Appears to offer plenty of clearance for the 335/35 ZR17s I am using

door latch release linkage
View of lower end of linkage. Very much the same as drawing that Art Burtt has posted. Spring is secured to wheel well liner with a machine screw, short lenght of safety chain, a key ring. Light colored material behind the safety chain is insulating foam.

Shell Valley build
The cowl hoop & windshield are mounted, and drivers side rear wheel well sectioned for tire clearance. I don't know what jig Shell Valley used to align the interior tub to the body, but it was way off. I'll probably have pictures of the fiber glassing effort later.

Shell Valley build
Rear roll bar down legs were notched and fitted. The first one was the hardest. After the correct angle and length were determined, the second one was a breeze. Good thing, since we broke Buddy's 2 inch hole saw while finishing the notch on the second down leg.

Shell Valley build
Here's the narrowed 9 inch Ford rear end with its first coat of satin black paint. The rear end has a 3.50 posi center section. And yes, those are 11 inch drum brakes. Hey, this is a budget build.

The first coat of paint has been sprayed in the engine compartment. After it drys, it will be sanded and a second coat applied. I may have to do 3 or 4 coats to get it where I'm satisfied.

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.

Test Run at Santa Anita Race Track
Nice big parking lot to get some run time. That is, of course, until security catches you and runs you out!
