Default Best suspension choice for Chevelle's?

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.

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...
