Arntz / Butler door
This is the final version of the Arntz / Butler door. The inner and outer fibreglass panels conceal a 2 x 4 x 0.120 wall steel tube for crash protection and rigidity. A VW door latch, striker and handle let you in and out. A plate is welded on the front, to which the hinges bolt and adjust. The hinges are press formed from 1.5 x 0.5 solid steel bar and swing on delrin bushes. Unique to the Arntz Type 4 are the Mercedes door pin and socket (just above the latch) that solidly ties the door to the rest of the cage surrounding the passenger compartment.

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.

Trunk hinge support
When I got this kit the trunk lid and hood were not attached to their frames. So before joining the two together I figured I would give the hinges something solid to bolt to...and also add some strength. The holes are 5/8 and I am making some press fit threaded collars to put in the holes for 3/8 bolts.
