It very much looks like it's built on a Chamonix (old Beck) frame, although the pictures are so useless that it's hard to see any footwell pictures, or determine if it's a swing-axle car (as I suspect it is).
I'm not a fan of the color or the fact that it is a John Steele special, but I had no idea JPS ever did a "D" and yet here it is.
This is the second or third JPS Subaru car on BaT in less than a month. Interesting.

Stance looks good, and I'm sure the paint and upholstery are good. If I were guessing, I'd bet it leaks like a sieve (as John's cars are wont to do). It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
I'm guessing it was painted in Brazil since that is definitely the entry level Brazil interior and seats, surface dyed leather and commercial grade house carpet. Being that I know EXACTLY how this build should have gone together, I just see so many things wrong (or at least could have been done so much better) in these "new" Brazilian cars built from our old molds... personally ai'd take an old used Beck one one of these new builds any day.
but I may be biased a lil too... :-)

And now the entire thing comes into focus. Just more of John being John.
Thanks for helping me see what I'm looking at, Carey.
