Patrick's post is spot-on. There are SO MANY little things about these cars that you cannot even imagine are of importance until you sleep with one in your garage a few months. In my opinion, you need to qualify what you think your finished car would represent first, then work backwards. Some questions to think about in terms of the finished car:
1. Do you want it to look original or do you want it to have more of a contemporary/hot rod appearance?
2. Are accurate body lines (like ERA and Hurricane) important to you?
3. How will you power it?
4. Will you race it?
Some kits are better suited in these areas than others. Another thing to consider is that while two kits might cost the same going in, if one requires 40 extra hours of body prep time over the other, then you aren't really comparing apples to apples.
