It is a name hung on my place by a few friends years ago. They said I had DEUCE on the brain and too much Deuce stuff. I have the Deuce license tag ( and have for 30 plus years ), the little dogs registered AKC name is " Little Steel Deuce Roadster " and I also have a Harley Davidson " Deuce " model ... the FXSTDI.

WOW! That is a pretty good comment!

When I was younger and a little more foolish ... I tried to buy all the 32 Ford stuff I could find/afford. I have NEVER seen a reproduction piece fit like a original Ford part. I bought a NOS 32 Grille shell and insert @ Hershey over 25 years ago for $300 or $350. Everyone said I was crazy I have bought 32 Ford 25 vent hoods for as little as $100. 32 3w dashes for 50 dollars. Back when everyone wanted HIBOY 32's, I bought the fenders and stuff they were taking off.

Unfortunately, stuff is too high to buy anymore. With eBay, the price of 32 stuff has gone STUPID $$$
But it makes my stuff worth more $$$ ... so I guess that's good. Problem is ... I just do not want to sell any of it
So the value really does NOT matter ... I just want to live long enough to use it all ...

Its been about 3 years but it weighed near 2300# and within a few #s of 50/50 percentage fore & aft on digital race scales. It's a typical fiberglass deuce with sbc automatic. That was with aluminum wheels. The steel ones on it currently add a good 30#.
