Thunder Road where abouts

Does anyone know if the Thunder Road ship exists somewhere? I really want to see it in person, it's been a life-long dream of mine. Otherwise I guess I'm just going to have to build one myself! I've actually tracked down an individual tilt-a-whirl tub, I just don't know how I'm going to get it (it's in GA and I'm in NE). The 2 old dryer windows are what worries me, no idea where I'd find those. But anyway, if anyone knows where the ship is today, please let me know. I'm dying here!

If you haven't answered in awhile, you're probably in space by now-
