You found it! Well done. Bob Elton is an automotive historian and restorer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and founder of the annual Rolling Sculpture Car Show in his home town. He posted a whole gallery of images about the design and build of this car on Google Plus, which is where the puzzle pic comes from, but I haven't been able to find it again. I will give it another try tonight.

Thanks for my 688th point !

I found the gallery by trawling through my browser's history. How I found it in the first place, I have no idea. Anyway, I post the original unedited image below plus a couple of others and some specs. If anyone else is interested, the complete gallery, titled "Bob Elton's V8 Saga" is publicly visible on Google Plus and belongs to a Stephen Schewe, who I assume is one of Elton's friends.
