GT40 Replica/Kit Car...

Been looking at Ford GT40 replica/kit cars for a long term build. Does anyone have any experiences with kit cars? I've seen one built off of a little Pontiac Fiero and it looked horrible, I'd like to find a tubed steel chassis and low price.

I'd like to build one with a modern Ford Mustang GT 5.0 engine with Boss heads/intake(444HP). Reliable, decent MPG, sounds awesome, enough HP/Torque. It would be an occasional street car, no race car, occasional trackday. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences?

An old friend of mine has a GT40 kit. Bottom up chassis build (i.e. no obvious donor car), and Edelbrock 5 litre V8. It is a thing of absolute beauty and worth a fair bit of money. Unfortunately I don't know much about the build or original spec, except that it ain't a cheap kit!

Yeah I've noticed all the GT40 kit cars are very expensive. Still my favorite car of all time, even though I'll never own(or even drive) one.
