Welcome along Braddy.

The main issues with the Tucker kit are due to the owner, but you have the kit now so dont have to deal with him.

I am sure with a good going over the car can be made into a quality piece, but the stigma of the builder will be stuck with it.

As suggested, run a build thread, if you have questoins, dont be affraid to ask, and expect 10 different answers, you can then decide which one provides the besy option to you.

Make sure you get an engineer involved early in the piece, and I would also run some string lines over the chassis and mounting points (just to be sure she is all square before you start), easier to fix now rather than later.

Have fun with it and enjoy the ride.
