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.

Here's the hood after we straightened it and put the first layer of glass cloth on the inner panel.

Temporary Gauges
Here are the 5 gauges I set up to test fire my engine in the chassis. These are enough to monitor and tune the engine.

Ford_Raditor_Heat_Rejection_Chart- Street Rod Example
This chart compares the heat rejection rate (cooling capacity) of three different types of radiators tested on an old Ford Street Rod. Coolant flow rate is held constant at 7 gpm (typical flow at idle perhaps, not sure where its being measured ???). It graphs the heat rejection for each radiator versus air flow through the radiator core. It is comparing 3 diff rad designs/materials at different CFMs through the core. The more air flow you have for a given coolant flow rate (7 gpm in this example) , the higher the heat rejection, basically linear in this example. The author of this graph is most likely selling the high efficiency radiator showing the improvement over the other two designs. To sum it up, the radiator at the top of the chart appears to be the most efficient at a low coolant flow rate (7 gal/min) over all air flows tested. Ya see how important rad core/tank design is? I learned something here.

Inside the door skin
I took this shot to show how the hinges and latches have been reinforced with steel. This is a shot seldom seen on most kit cars. By the way the latch will be electric and operable by remote, push button, or manually. Just a small liberty taken here.

Edelbrock/Ford SVO 429/460 Pump Flow Chart
Here is a chart I put together that compares the two different popluar pulley sizes available in the aftermarket for the 429/460 in fancy shmancy polished powder coated clear aluminum pulleys. The big pulley is not the way to go, you cant get enough flow to cool these high horsepower motors on the street.
