May want to edit your title with your wants and where. May catch the right eyes. Ie looking for frame fabricator in England…etc
Damn. Glad you two are home and safe.
Hope someone finds photos for you.
I wonder if that’s why I can’t get things shipped to off Amazon? I needed a low PSI electric fuel pump. And exhaust manifold I can buy up town...

Jim Linder GMC Bubba,, RIP, I think he said 16-22 for FH V8’s. Jim knew his distributors.
Similar. But near certain it didn t have the two indentations in it.

I’m a TF guy, mainly because my dad bought his ‘57 new, then he handed over to me when I was 16. I’ve had a few more that came and went. But...
Sounds like fun. There shouldn’t be too many circuits in the car. Are you going to replace the mess you have or work with it?
You can call the DMV with the VIN/SN, see if it’s reported stolen, has a lien/back fees, etc. But as mentioned, they won’t give you much more.
@Tim gives an update on him now and again.
