Do you know this car?
1 point for the donor car (make model approx year).
1 point for the name given to it.
I do not know the builder myself... :-\ 1 point if you do.

I don't really know this car, but the base wouldn't be a Chevrolet Corvette, c.1954 would it?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Not a Chevrolet Corvette...but very far from that...the decade is correct.

EDIT: not a Corvette, but you're close.

Not a Jaguar XK120 in that case?

Is the base a 1955 Ford Thunderbord?

Or the Pontiac version of it, because it has a one piece windshield...

Perfect!
1st point to metalshapes.
I don't know if the name I have is correct, but it's written on the hood of this car...not in this picture but in a picture of the same car (with some modifications) in a later event.
It's a name you would use for different ...vehicles...

Was it modified in the USA? Somehow I got a South American vibe on this...

I don't know...
I found this pic in an old magazine ... and few days ago I found this pic on a very well known site with a name on it...they seem to be the same car.
Here you are the 2nd pic.
About this name, it is in the custom tradition...not a 'normal' name...
2 words: XXXXX XXXXXXXXX.

the car should share its name to a very popular movie, "XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX ZZ ZZZ ZZZZZ ZZZZ".
Find the X and it's done!
