One of the real problems is there are not that many guys that are builders that have a wide range of experience with the various brands. Reading this forum to answer your question can be difficult to find the answer to your question. Guys want to defend their own purchase. Even looking at another guys cars is difficult because that version may not be made anymore. So you have to ask when was it manufactured.

Kits can get better and worse over time depending on management and the economy. I have been researching four brands for my next project over the last year. The thing that has helped more than any other is current pictures of cars being built now.

The other issue is room in the car. I have called these companies and gotten the cockpit measurements from all of them. They vary a lot. There are high, medium and low bodies that can affect your seating height and where you look through the windshield. Using various seats can change this within limits. If you are tall, some cars require varying degrees of modifications and you still may not fit.

The other helpful thing you can do is email someone that is building a car now and ask how it is going. Talk to them on the phone and ask specific question about any problems and how the company is to deal with. Understand there is no real kit that is perfect. Just about all have some problems from very minor to serious. There are a few companies that offer cars at a lower price point, and if you have the skills they can be a good deal. Often these require a lot more work and a lot of experience to make a good car. Some guys over estimate their skills and the cars sets in the garage for years.

Good luck.
