Hot Rods Anyone recognize this car

Any help would be appreciated don’t have much to go on I bought the car from a guy in Ohio and he bought the car from PA I would like to build it as close to the way it was built originally I know it’s a long shot

 

Welcome from East Tennessee. I can't help with your search but you've got a pretty good start there. Good Luck.

 

Looks kinda pieced together. Are you sure all those parts were on the same car?

I’d suggest sanding down the paint in a few spots to discover what colors it used to be.

 

Doesn't look "historic" in any way. Build your own vision out of it.

 

When it was originally built it looked something like this.

 

I agree. I think DirtyDug is on the money. Nothing stands out as being complete in its past.

 

Dirty Dug says, When it was originally built it looked something like this.

 

looks like a fairly recent amateur build from a person with low skills and good taste in wheels

 

If it is an old hot rod there isn't enough left of the "old hotrod" part to write home about. But then what 49Ratfink and I see as "not an old build" might seem like an old build to someone new to the hobby.
Good ideas for a pretty decent little hot rod that appear to need some refinement.

You can probably use 55/57 Chevy front motor mount biscuits on the front mount. You might need a spacer or two to get the enginelevel after you put the rear mount on it. I'm not sure that there is room for the bottom half of a Ford Biscuit mount in that tower.

I'd go over every weld on the ch***is and check each one to see how well it is actually done.

On the X member and frame I see decent ideas but it needs a lot of detail cleanup and the boxing on the frame needs to be finished. Little things like where they took the sawzall to the Xmemeber rail when they figured out that they needed room for the 4 speed shiifter but didn't cut it off very straigth leaving that stub sticking out past the angle piece. Just nit picking little things that need a couple hours here and an hour there to make right.

I love the stance and the total look of it though. That one is pure hot rod.

 

I wonder how badly distorted the frame is with all that heavy stuff welded to it?

 

I see some serious “scrub line” issues…

 

I agree with several of the others ... that definitely appears to be a 1932 Ford.

As for the "scrub line" ... paint over it if it won't sand out.

I absolutely love starting out my day by helping someone else

 

That's just mean man. LMFAO I love it.

I got no idea how it was originally built, but if it were mine I would try to move the rear wheels forward. Closer to centered in the wheel wells. It will look better and you will gain a little on the weight transfer.

 

I would just look through the old magazines at channeled coupes, pick one that you like best and build it similar.

 

See if there is any evidence of gold metal flake. It vaguely reminds me of an old coupe that sat in the back of a shop i used to frequent back in the early '70's. Although it appears it may have been blasted clean. Last that I recall it was in SW Pa. and disappeared.

 

If nothing else, it's a starting point. Now for the direction to achieve the dream. Everything is savable with time, effort, new parts, and $.
