    Belt line looks like 30 chevy or pontiac, windshield posts look odd or homemade, not sure the cowl vent belongs to the original picture either.

    my $.02
     
  11. Look real close. It has 29 Fordor front, with a 29 Tudor rear. The reveal behind the back glass goes up to where a drip rail would start. The doors have been stretched. The cowl is 29 Fordor, different than coupe, roadster, or Tudor. It hid a regular Ford gas tank underneath. Ford never build doors that long, but the reveal is correct for a 28/29.
    I'll go back to the garage to get some more brown shit up my nose, rust.

    "29 chrysler, or dodge body. I had one."

  15. Damn, so many similarities. The door handle hole is in the door reveal on a Ford.

    ding ding, i think we have a winner. thanks all
     
  26. Here's a 1931 Chevy photo I just pulled off Google Images. The windshield post detail is all wrong.
    Doing vehicle ID's is pretty east to do with Google, even if you don't know the make, just search each one until you come up with a match.
