That's a beautiful reproduction. Was this for the movie starring Jeff Bridges?

I think that was a movie starring Joan Allen. She is more versatile and has better credits than Jeff Bridges.

There’s an AACA museum in Hershey, PA about an hour from me. They have several Tuckers permanently on display along with various chassis and engines. Tried posting the link here but doesn’t work!

Richard:

Ask your friend if he worked with a man with the last name of Rhodes. I worked with Mr. Rhodes in 89 and he claimed that he helped to make the Tucker prop cars on 74 Ford LTD's because the wheelbase was the same. He also said that the hardest part was taking fiberglass molds off of a real Tucker. I remember him mainly because he claimed to have worked On Evil Knievel Snake River Rocket cycle. I worked with a lot of liars and bullsh***ers in LA BUT he was an amazing fabricator so I believed him. Unfortunately I can't remember his first name Icon_sad

Sincerely Richard
