I think when you get into high dollar parts like these - you can't go wrong either way. I have a Jim Meyer Chassis under my Nomad - the frame rails where formed by.... Art Morrison. However, there IS a difference with these frames. Mine is all heim joints - so no rubber bushings... to do this over again I'd certainly use the AME frame. I'm building a 55 now (for a buddy) with AME chassis... it's a nice piece -- as is my JMR piece.
I say this - because you're asking for an opinion on which to buy - without a discussion about any (if any) differences that ALL the choices offer.
Some A arm manufactures use Del A Lum bushings - some use Urethane - tubular A arms versus - Corvette castings...
If I was making this choice I'd be on the phone with both of them with a list of questions like - what is the max wheel/tire size - what offsets - what bolt pattern - turning radius - what are your brake choices/sizes - roll bar choices - brake lines optional or std - type of steering (rack or?) - turning ratio options - what motor / header are you going to use - do these have any interference issues that are known to the mfg.... etc.
Just my 2 cents worth - which isn't worth a nickel
