    aluminum duck tail info can this be a prototype??

    Hi Guys...I bought a car about ten years ago that had a Aluminum Duck Tail .
    I recently reconected with the man I bought it from.
    He claims this is the only one in the world and a prototype for the first duck tail.
    Ive heard there is a man in Ohio that may have knowledge.
    Anybody help me?
    Thanks
    Joe

    Hey Joe,

    Are you say'n that it has an alloy frame... or....... the whole damn thing is alloy???????

    If it's the just frame with a FRP tail, I believe the factory made about 500 of them...... I never heard/seen of a complete duck tail made from aluminum ........ please show us some pictures.

    I'm think'n there are body men and fabricators that can make pretty much anything out of aluminum... maybe homemade?

    The whole thing is aluminum,and this is a work of art.

    I don't have a really good picture, I'm on vacation, and I have it in primer now as we are fitting it to my RSR project...So the Plot thickens.

    Never mind, it is a very nice piece. This is the first time I see a full alloy ducktail. Even if homemade, very nice work. Please keep us posted.
