LoBelly is right on the mark!!

The numerous years of research I did before I was near having paola to buy meant that when I did look at the many unfinished kits I knew what I was looking at, that the pricing was good, bad or indifferent and what else the kit needed to get finished.

My kit got advertised three times dropping $3K between ads till I went in and offered a shade less again and bought it. Even mine was not quite all the bargain I thought I'd get but it did allow me to get into a car which is the aim of the exercise.

Spend time doing the research like you really are looking to build from scratch and aside from helping with the initial kit, the information will come in handy later on.

Best of luck.
