Multiple angles here for a mystery car on its way to be restored to its former glory.  Do you know what it is for a point?

It looks like it could be another American built 1950s special.
Sorrell fibreglass body? 
It looks like it has a Ford torque tube so Ford axle and possibly engine?
Chassis by Chuck Manning?
