ERA, CSX, SPF, Contemporary, Unique, all would be excellent choices. There are many other kits out there, but those are the ones I have some personal experience with. With any of the kits I just named the one constant is that you can be sure the underlying quality of the kit is going to be good, and after that it comes down to how the particular car you are considering was finished.

I have to say, though, that I examined and drove a Backdraft for the first time about three months ago and came away extremely impressed with the value the car presented. From a strict authenticity standpoint their car is perhaps a notch below some of the others, but in terms of fit and finish it seemed to be to a very high standard. The turnkey price as mentioned to me was quite a bit less than the roller price of several other kits. The car drove very nicely and was pretty quick considering the mild 302 that particular one had installed. I would definitely recommend taking a look at them--
