Hi Drew,

I would fully agree with that. Of course, if you look at my status you'd conclude "of course" since I have an ERA kit on the way. I know you're going to PM me sometime with your phone number. I can walk you through the research I did and why I chose ERA. Ultimately, you'll come to your own conclusion based on your own needs and tastes. There are a few top manufacturers that you can search far and wide and not find any negative feedback. Of course, there are some guys that think their own brand is the best and everything else is crap so you just have to ignore that and go from there.

I'm sure by now you're totally addicted!

Regards,

Kevin

There are several top notch kits out there and if you are buying turn key, see if there are any around near y that you can look at. You never said what make the one that you are looking at is, but ERA, Shelby, and Kirkham are some of the top line. And Factory Five is now right up there near the ERA level. Also if buying one already built a lot will depend on the way it was built. If the builder did a good job and used good parts, then many kits are good. Also look depending on what you are going to use it for. Are you looking for a cruiser,show car, or do you want one to race. Good luck with whatever you get and post some pictures of it.
