P1000474
I think this is an old Ford Anglia roadster, It has the left hand door welded closed and body filler in the gaps, Also the rear arches have been moulded to the body and some big flares fitted aswell.
The front of the chassis has what appears to be box section steel welded in place.
I am taking a guess that this is possably an ex speedway car or home made rod of some sort.
Now I have to decide if I want to drag it out and get it home, might look good in the garden?

Brake Lines
Close-Up shot of brake line running up left frame rail. To help shield it from exhaust heat, I put a section of fuel line hose around the brake line, then covered it in corrugated tubing to make it look a little better.

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

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
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.

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.

9 inch Ford Independent rear center section.
9 inch Ford Diff assy, mounts on 4 pads on rear of housing plus 'ring' bracket that attach's to pinion retainer. This particular unit has now completed seven hard seasons of classic racing in a TVR Tuscan. We are now upgrading the axle shafts to 35 spline to make it totally bulletproof...if such a state ever exists!:)
