It looks like I may be starting a '64 Chevelle project for myself shortly. I've been doing some research of the different kits available and I thought I would ask what you guys would recommend for it. I'd be looking at a full front and rear suspension kit with all the bells and whistles. I want something that will handle great and hold its own, but it's still going to be a family car. I'd love to go with a RS Chassis, but don't know that the budget is that high for the project.

I took a ride in the dse chevelle test car this weekend. It handles great and had an extremely nice ride quality.

We will have a Chevelle chassis very soon I might sell a skilled Fabricator the parts to put it together himself.

Hey Rodger, email me what you're thinking. I would need to have it done and under the car by the end of January...

Thanks! Then all I need to do is find a skilled fabricator...

I'm not sure what your budget is, but the Roadster Shop has a killer chassis for the Chevelle as well.:unibrow:

I got the first kit with the Fab9 and the rear truss was just a hair in the way to clear the coil over so they fixed it for me and I just got it back Fri. going to be installing it soon...

I like Rodgers frame too.

I think I'm just going to go bolt on with this one though. I'm looking to have a simple car this time around.

Tim brought by the Speed-Tech stuff and it looks very impressive! We'll see, I still have a couple months before I need to order, my mind changes like the weather.
