I have been looking for what the original car was,and I think it is a 1938/39 Pontiac Business Coupe.

Ozman,

It's a chopped 1936 Ford 3 window coupe....................................



with 1940 Ford front Standard (not Deluxe) fenders and grill.....................................

Aaah nice one Gastrick, its was the windscreen and the front clip that was throwing me, he or she ( lets not discriminate ) had to change the front clip to suit how low it was going to be.I thought it was a Pontiac but that Ford rear pillar is very distinctive. Thanks Detective Gastrick much obliged. Now we know what he ( or she ) started with, now we need the build history.

clip?

hey gastrick, not to change the topic, but do you kno if that 1940 ford standard clip will fit on a 1945 ford pick up cab and be close? i like look kinda like a willys front end, and im thinkn of doing a gasser out of this ford cab i got but want that standard clip look on the front. thanks dp1

 

[Gastrick]

DP1, people have have done it but it's not a direct bolt up. 40 Ford pick-up sheetmetal will bolt up to the 45 cab. I have a pic somewhere of a pick-up with the car front sheetmetal on it. I'll see if I can find it. Do the gasser!

thanks gastrick see if you can find that pic 4 me, I'M ON IT! dp1
