Joe, what do have in mind for a budget and are you looking for a kit to build or are you looking for something that all you need to do is drop in an engine and transmission? I'm partial to Factory Five Racing because of the extremely large network of owners and the dedication of the company to their product and the owners of their cars along with ongoing development of their company. With that said there are a number of really great companies out there such as Kirkham, Superformance, Hurricane, B&B, Cutting Edge, Backdraft, ERA, Unique and of course the offerings from Shelby just to name a few. The best advise I can give you has already been mentioned in that you should go to Run and Gun if at all possible as every conceivable manufacture will be represented there so you can get up close to the cars and most importantly you can talk to the guy that built the car for both positive as well as negative information about each one. Second as already mentioned, if you can't make it to Run and Gun by all means check your local area for club meetings and club outing to get an idea of what's out there.
Good luck in your search and by all means have the time of your life with your project and all the great people you will meet along the way.
Don
