    no. But if someone took some more pictures, so we could see the firewall, the inside of the doors, and some other things, and maybe a picture of the whole car at once, we might could figure it out?

    The overall look makes me think this car is in Europe or South America, nothing wrong about that, just a unique collection of parts. Welcome to the HAMB!

    If you look at the door on the inside there are a lot of cut lines, this may have been a Coupe that someone converted into a Roadster.

    Thanks to everybody
     
  20. Are you sure it's a 9" Ford and not the stock Chevy?

    Not every rear with a drop out 3rd member is a 9" Ford.

    I have had many people come out to me at swap meets looking at 55-64 Chevy thinking they were 9" Fords I have seen the same thing with 8 3/4 Mopar rears

    55-64 Chevy rear
