We are talking about a car that could be worth low six figures. Someone would certainly have to do very high quality work to pull that off.
I just don't think the Johny Cash one piece at a time song is the only explanation.

I am not implying the following item has anything to do with the OPs car. It is just commenting on the above post.
We know from the SAAC registry that Kimmins has purchased at least one chassis less aluminum body from Kirkham. The serial number is KMPS005. It is a leaf spring car. The only logical explanation I can have for Kimmins who builds aluminum bodies to buy a Kirkham chassis is to put a Kimmins body on it.
So if you put together manufacturer "A" and manufacturer "B". It does not have to imply salvage nor does it have to imply Frankenstein. I imagine someone thought it would be worthwhile to buy a Kimmins bodied Kirkham chassis and had Kimmins them build such a car when it would have been easier and most likely cheaper to just buy a Kirkham.
And like I said, I am not implying this has anything to do with the OPs car. I do not believe the OPs car has a Kimmins body.
