Investigating possibilities

Hi all, I just registered on the GT40s website this A.M. and I am thinking of building a GT40 of my own. I've done some web surfing of manufacturers and It looks like I'm interested in the New Zealand GT40 of Phil Ware or possibly the Tornado. I am looking to get the bulk of the kit and related parts to my door step in the neighbor hood of $20k. Sadly this rules out the CAV, RF, and ERA. I was wondering if anyone out there has a Tornado and what their impressions of the car are. How was the company to deal with. I believe there are currently only two NZ based GT40's in the states. I spoke with Neil Meldrum in Washington state about his and he seems impressed with it. I've got the building background. I've had a Classic Roadsters 427 Cobra now for about 10 years and I assembled and wired the car myself. (I had someone else paint it) Being that it's a CR, I also know what it's like to deal with a company that has internal problems. Anyhow, am I missing any other GT40 manufacturers that might fit my bill. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guy, and girls!

P.S. The snow is deed in Ohio this year.
