Not Ranked
A Chebbie in a Ford Icon!  Oh the Shame!  But each to his own, thats the beauty of the Kit format. I know the cost of shipping from the US is more than local built. Also, as I don't know your local builders. I only feel secure in offering opions on those that I am aware of. FFR builds a top quality kit & the new MKIV body is the most accurate reproduction of a original AC roadster, FFR has ever done!  It's not exact like a ERA, CSX, or KMC; but its close! and has a wicked good frame/foundation to build from. If you are looking for top US builders. I would offer this list. For Alum. body AC's/rollers: (1) KMC (2) CSX (3)SPF. For top Fiberglass AC/rollers: (1)ERA (2)CSX (3)KMC (4)SPF (5) Unique. For top kit builders/non rollers: (1) FFR (2) assorted, including some of the above. Be aware most of the above listed are not truly kit builders, they build factory rollers or turnkeys. IMHO; FFR is the best true kit builder out there!  Just about every builder listed offerings will be in excess of $50K to 100K+ finished. Except the FFR!  For the cash, quality, & delivery (kit) time est. FFR is #1 for the true gearhead.  I most likely started a firestorm with my picks, but there they are!  Enjoy M8.
