First thing you want to do is fill in your profile, let people here know where you are geographically speaking (besides that you are in the state of Oklahoma as an example) so if someone is close they may be able to lend you some assistance.


Second, post some pictures of what you have, give a side shot, shots of the engine compartment, firewall, hood, door openings, trunk and dash area so that we can attempt to identify what you actually have on your hands.

Did I mention:
Pictures of the car
Pictures of the engine compartment
Pictures of the trunk
Pictures of the door hinges
Pictures of the dash
Pictures of the suspension
Pictures of the frame

Clear, well lit pictures, don't try and get "artsy", we are looking at the basic details as each kit has it's own unique build signature.

Finally, forget about what the VIN tag says (take a picture of it and post it for possible assistance in identification), as blank AC VIN tags can be had by any number of vendors and hand stamped "at will" by the owner/builder to say anything they wanted it to.



By the way, welcome to the madness..........
