Help ID barn find
One of my hot-rod friends found this in a barn at the end of Jan. He has been hard at work on it trying to recreate it as it was when parked. The prior owner's son said it was a build-it-yourself project that was detailed in an early 50's Mechanix Illustrated issue. It was set aside as an ongoing project and not touched for the last 45 years.
Can anybody in this community shed some additional light on these cars? Bill K

I told him it looks like a cross between a Willy's 4WD and a Bantam.

One of the comments says it's a 49 Ford engine, but it looks like a pre-1938 engine to me. The grille and lights are from a '38 Ford pickup.
