Mark, welcome and I echo the words above about doing your homework. I'll also add something that many, including some of our friends on here, have found difficult. Try not to form such an allegance to any one company that you overlook their faults and can't see the positives in others. Every one of them has positives and negatives and you need to determine what fits best for you. I say this after building several kits from different manufacturers in between other OEM restorations. I've built:

Classic Roadsters Sebring MX (Austin Healey reproduction)
Outlaw Performance 1941 Willys Coupe
Performance Engineering Ferrari California 250GT
Factory Five Daytona Coupe
RCR GT40 Mk 1
Now waiting the arrival of a Kirkham 289 FIA

Like I said, no one manufacture is perfect for everyone. You have to decide what works best for you. Welcome and good luck!
