You need to decide whether you want to build the kit yourself or not. Factory Five is for those who want to completely build the kit yourself. Most of the others are toward purchasing a completed or nearly completed roller and you add engine and trans.

I have a Factory Five. I enjoyed building it almost as much as driving it. Factory Five can be done as (a) a donor build (you buy a Mustang, take all the parts off it you will need) or (b) you buy a pallet donor (you purchase an already disassembled stack of needed parts from one of the vendors) or you buy all new parts and then assemble the kit, All depends on (a) how much money you want to spend and (b) how much money vs your personal labor (c) whether you want all new parts.

I went donor route, disassembled a Mustang, did some rebuilding/replacement of parts. Total cost, including professional body prep and paint, top and bumpers and lots of accessories/trim was $26K. This is fairly typical ($2K less without top and bumpers). You can build for as little as $18-20$K if you do the body prep and paint yourself and don't purchase any accessories or upgraded trim pieces.
