Not Ranked
I have to throw my two cents in as well... I met Ron in 1980 just as he was taking over the Arntz car. I actually have Butler #000, which I believe is the first kit sold by Ron when he transitioned from providing parts to Arntz to supplying the Butler version. He is not only a fantastic practical engineer, but was always a gentleman to me (including times he had a right not to be). Sure his toys and parts were expensive, but I always got what I paid for, when it was promised. That in itself is a rarity these days. After not seeing him for years I paid him a visit a year or so ago. Still enthusiastic and passionate about doing things the right way. I have to say that dealing with Ron, hearing the history and stories have only positively added the experience of building and owning my Butler.
