[Excaliber]

Don Scott, Classic Roadsters II is the name of the company. Identical in size and basic specs to an Excalibur replica. Good call and used ones are available. A quality kit, as many are, but BUILD quality varies from car to car depending on who acutally assembled it. That is also true of most of the replicas out there.

One of the main reasons people like "rollers" (which are NOT kits) is the build quality is consistent (good or bad at least it's consistent). So generally speaking (not always true) your getting a "known quality" car for your money. SPF and BDR are two primary examples of "rollers".

Another way to look at quality issues is WHO built it! A Classic Roadster assembled by Don Scott himself IS going to be a very well built car indeed, for instance. FFR's are pretty much 100% "kits", therefore build quality can range from over the top perfect (bring a BIG wallet) to mediocre (small wallet will work). Generally speaking a "kit" assembled by the manufacturer will be a great car, but one assembled by an owner himself COULD be even better!
