Some help with identification please.

First post.Please be gentle!
This auto is very cool looking.I am not versed in this era(it may be common as dirt).Stricktly a body(probobly a toss away from the car that got restored)No floor.Front fenders are in the dirt nearby. I have a leftover pontiac drivetrain,and enough junk laying around to cobble together something.I just have to assess if i have the ambition!
Merry christmas!

Speak slowly and in great detail.Im a bit tarded.Which of the many icons would i use for attaching pictures?Can i upload to this site,or do i have to use photobucket?

Thanks

 

`29 Whippet

 

seems that the brackets on the firewall for the windshield squirter reservoir could be a clue.

If you are serious,and correct,i assume i wouldn't be able to ever reasonably find any more body parts?There is enough there to template whats horribly damaged.Should i find something a little more common?I would rather build my tube frame and related suspension than get quagmired in trying to make a useable shell.Conversely if its an oddball perhaps no one builds these and i can find all sorts of parts?

 

Yes , its a `29 whippet , heres a couple pics

 

Talk to The Rabid Whippet, he is building a pretty sick 29 Whippet!
He probably has tons of information for ya!

If your concerned about finding parts for it, are you restoring it, or are you gonna build a "Hot Rod"!

 

I harbor no illusions about what it takes to restore. It would be a heavily cut up barely recognizable street weapon.My desire is a full caged ,high horsepower,safe to crash,do everything hot rod.I think a car should be driven if it has no historical signifigance and this heap has no chance without me.Narrow tired front ends look kool,but will not accomplish what i intend to do with the car.It must corner which means it must survive a mishap(reality bites,sooner or later i will lose one of my cars).My friends are constantly building frames and roll cages for our wheelers,so i will definately go full tube.Ive never seen a build like whats going on in my head,but early flat trackers are in the right direction.Im a cheap bastard so everything would be home fabbed.Thanks lowfat for the i.d. and pics!
