If this is the incorrect forum to post this please let me know, and I will post in the appropriate forum. My intention is to trace the history of this car for documentation and information purposes. I had asked about this car previously and received some leads which were extremely helpful. I'm figuring the second time around may be even more fruitful!
Please refer to caption below first picture of brown project car.

The car has been treated to the usual round of hot-rodding tricks and modifications for the late 60-70's era. The rear wheel well lips have been rolled/beat in, for large tires. Hole cut into transmission tunnel for aftermarket shifter? It may have had a transmission challenge sometime early in it's life. Firewall massaged for big distributor or magneto? Miscellaneous extra holes drilled for accessories and or weight savings. Front discs replaced with drums. Limiting stops installed on control arms. Traction bars welded to rear, with a piece of chain bolted to differential to limit travel. Longer wheel studs installed on rear axles. R/frt fender replaced with GM fender. Found remains of GM parts sticker. Frame connectors welded in. Body bushings and radiator support bushings replaced with solid aluminum bushings. Homemade towbars welded to subframe horns.
The reason for all of these details is to see if any of this information jogs someones memory. Any kind of assistance and information would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thanks in advance!
