Good question on the donor Tesla.

My guess is that they bought a wrecked car, based on the fact that the Rich, the guy who made the above video, specializes in rebuilding wrecked Teslas. And in the video, the Stealth EV builder of the '49 Merc mentions he'd been trying to contact Rich while doing the build.
