Found it...here's the link to the other Thomas thread I was thinking of. .
Comparing these shots, it sure looks like you've at least got Thomas stuff there! .

Looking at the front sub-frame, the style and tube diameter looks really similar also the inner shock mount tab or whatever it is is even still on your car but unused as an outer tab has been added for the shock? .
Comparing the interior dash views, is the 'dash delete' panel an available by order Thomas part...they're both almost exact w/ the double bead even curved lower edge towards the passenger's side? . If not a for sale item they sure look like they've been crafted by the same person? .
Where's some more detail shots, how many screws are holding that dash piece in as I'd doubt they'd be predrilled holes? .
Crazy...is it time to look closly at welds etc. yet? .
