BC,

Look through the ads here on CC. There are many nice ones advertised on this site, and it's way more cost-effective to find a good quality used one than trying to build it yourself.

It really depends upon what you can afford and what is important to you (e.g. HP, period-correctness, etc.). Almost any brand of "kit" can be built into a quality car. Likewise even the best can be poorly assembled, and it all depends upon the builder.

Find car in your price range, and then ask for assistance in the area where the car is located (look for CC-associated clubs under the Club section of this forum). Then post a request for assistance on that site.
