Building a '56 olds myself, I am in the same boat. The full frame route is the most advanced. Fatman stuff seems heavily based on MII design which I dont want. At 20k, an RS chassis is hard to swallow, but saves lots of time and is up to date with more or less with technology. I am sure other companies are the same. Art's setup was a little less $ but not a whole lot. Also want to avoid clipping the chassis. 2nd gen F body does work though. I have seem in rough form / early build, a 94-96 caprice/ Impala frame fitted to a ' 56 olds body. Its not bolt on, but not too far off. I am playing with that option on the drawing board currently. While my OE drums are being cut, it will be a little before I get to the underpinnings of my car and plan to drive it as is HAMB friendly for the time being.
