Noob Question (65 Chevelle/66Nova)

[PoorMan]

Greetings all (noob's first post).

I've been out of the car scene for a long time now but have been re-bitten by the bug. I've decided to build a true daily driver--this will be my only car. Although less radical than the cars I've seen here, it will be more pro touring style than anything else. Accordingly I will devote most of my efforts to handling, braking, stance and comfort. It seems an F body would be the easiest to build for what I am trying to acheive, but (at this point) I've decided to make things harder on myself and build either a '65 Chevelle or '66 Nova.

Plans will most likely include mini tubs, a new front clip (or chassis if needed) etc. I'd like it to handle and brake like the dickens, but as a daily driver I need a reasonably comfortable ride at the same time. To sum it up, I guess I'm after the modern standard of a high performance braking and handling street car. I'd like to use a 275 rear tire, but in the case of a 65 Chevelle, I may consider 245s to save money on mini tubs. 18" wheels.

Can anyone suggest the type of suspesnion/chassis I should be looking at or what companies provide parts for an application such as this? Surely a full tube frame and 4 link would be too radical for my application, but I'm not really sure where to go for street performance parts and info. Perhaps a Hotchkis TVS kit on a 65 Chevelle will give me sufficient performance for what I'm after? Help?

Thanks!
Dave
