That's not a bad use for an L-body (and I like L-bodies).

All that effort in the engine and that tiny little air cleaner! I think I would have a real close look at that chassis before I took it through the traps WOT.

Seems like the chassis build is a bit suspicious to me, too.  A straight axle and transverse leaf up front?.....rather outdated design compared to what was there in the first place, and probably could have been left there for use.

the car has a model t frame under it.
you could pull the body and put a t bucket on it and go..
sans a ton of safty features fixted...first...
on second thought the body looks straight...you could yank and put
a real chassis in it...
