Shell Valley build
We finished welding on the frame and gave it its first coat of black paint. Half the paint went on the frame, 1/4 of it went on the drop cloth, and the other 1/4 went on Buddy and myself. I had to take a shower in paint thinner!

Daily Driver
A street driven small block car seen at the Steamboat Springs, CO. vintage races in 1994. This same car appeared at the 1998 Steamboat races painted red. (They both had the same license plate.) Possibly it is CSX 2545.
Contact me at lightcatcher@bresnan.net for more details.

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

Shell Valley build
We're back working on getting the doors, hood, and trunk lid to fit. We had to grind half of the inner door structure to get it to fit. Now we need to do some fiberglassing to make the door structurally sound.

Shell Valley build
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.

Passenger side door latch assembly is installed. We had to cut and reglass a portion of the fender well to get clearance for the striker plate.

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

Fuel Line -Hard Tube Steel Adapter to 6 AN Flex Line
To ensure I use all steel, I had to use different vendors, Aeroquip hard tube compression fitting and Earls Auto fit hose end, Russell fuel hose, but all coated steel material for a reliable leak free fuel connection. This is intended as a street application so NO aluminum line is used. Remember, aluminum hard line may not be D.O.T. legal for the steet in your State!!
