The body has the dip in the fender line where the rear of the front fender and front of the door meet which is characteristic of the B&B. However, I think before there was B&B the molds were used by another fabricator whose name I believe was LA Exotics. It is lacking the deep skirt around the hood opening which B&B and LA Exotics had - but possibly it was trimmed off before painting.

I suspect it's one or the other but the frame sure doesn't look like a B&B which has a steel floor under seats welded to the frame rails. Plus a B&B frame is 2x4 tubing and that looks like 4x4 tubing. Not sure if LA Exotics used the same frame or something different. Possibly it's a custom built frame.
