    I am just wondering what the Deuce folks think about the Speedway '32 "Kit"? One psychological trap is to think the "One Piece at a Time" approach will be cheaper than putting out a larger price for a more complete kit. Several threads on this forum started out to build cars for $3000 or less and found it cost more! The parts available for Deuce roadsters are plentiful but allow for more personal variation while the psychological sucker-bait with the Cobra is that it looks easier to build a more complete kit but actually the details are about the same. IMHO the Speedway '32 kit comes the closest to a Cobra kit but there is still a lot of finishing to do. Then there are those closed Ferrari-like kits, but I have not seen any on this Forum.
