I can't decide which kit to build into a pro-touring car. I'm going to be doing a custom fuel injected engine, probably turbocharged, custom lowered suspension and bigger wheels/tires, and custom interior. Please help me decide!

What type of vehicle are you attracted to ?? Maybe a make or model that you wish you could own, sometimes this can give you additional interest as to how the build will go. Or just find something that you just would never associate with Pro Touring, sort of "in your face" type of car.

Of those choice, I'd do the '70 Cuda. But do you have the AMT/ex-MPC '69 Mustang in your stash? That would make a cool one. I'm thinking of doing one myself, for several random reasons.

I would do the '70 Cuda because I would never cut on a 1:1 to make it pro-touring. No limits with a model car though.

Of those in the photo, the Volare is the least common/most interesting to me. Looks like you want to build a mopar, but if it doesn't have to be, I'd pick something outside the usual muscle car lineup.

Ooo,  that is a tough choice.

Of the five in your stack, I am torn between the top three ones. Maybe do the Challenger. I think that could look good if you do it right.

If the AMT Chevelle is not spoken for, for another project - that bodystyle works well. A few years back I built this Buick (Same platform as your Chevelle.), and I for me think it is the best Pro Touring I've made so far.

I am not a fan of the AMT Chevelle kit to be honest. If it were the Revell kit, i'd totally build it. 

I have decided to go forward with the Plymouth Volare, starting by trying to make a custom intake manifold for the 340 from an AMT Duster 340 kit. Thanks all!
