I have a DRB. The kit comes with the body rivited to the chasis, the doors, bonnet, boot, hardtop and windscreen were also fitted (save a lot of time and hassel). I do feel that it made the assembly more difficult but not overly so. I guess you have to spend more time getting into small cramped spaces. Then again you dont have to spend time fitting the body.

I went for this type of kit because I did not feel comfortable with putting the body on the chasis. I was concerned that the body would not be straight and that I would have trouble getting it lined up etc. Maybe not a reasonable concern but I thought I had heard that some people had trouble getting the body straight.

After building my cobra I'm more comfortable now and would not be stressed about fitting the body.

I guess it just depends how handy you are.
