This car used more than 10 brands in its construction. If you find the car, you'll know. Name as much as possible

The base car is clearly much newer. Is it American at all?

Thanks.

There are lots of pictures posted by bbllkk78 (aka Brian King) on Instagram that show the constant evolution of the car from its original state to the current one. This is where I got the builder's name and the details about the hood (or bonnet).
