Thanks for the kind words Slo.
As for making a Chevelle handle on a budget, there are lots of ways to accomplish your goals, it really comes down to time, budget, and goals. If you're looking for an easy bolt-on kit that will provide balanced handling and a marked improvement over stock on a budget, a set of sport springs, quality shocks (not from a chain auto parts store - good performance shock examples: bilstein, koni, aafco, etc), good high performance tires and a front sway bar.
Also don't overlook the value of a good steering system rebuild. A high-quality steering rebuild kit along with a quick-ratio steering box makes a HUGE difference in the way the car drives.
For the suspension parts, make sure you get parts that are made in the U.S.A., many of the new "budget" options on the market are made overseas and often don't offer many advantages other than shiny powdercoat.
Here's an example of a customer's car that does very well with all bolt-on parts: Rich Hohman has a TVS, along with tubular upper and lower arms. It's really his family hot rod, but has performed quite well in the GG Autocross:
