Check out this page for info http://www.roadsters.com/chassis/
I've know two guys that had used Alston Chassiworks and were real happy with the work, Another friend had a Pro-Street pinto with parts from Morrison which was also good.

Because doing it yourself ... you can save a ton-o'-dough ! ... but if you want to eventually run in the 8's ... you better have a Pro do it. Back maybe 8 years ago ...I had considered doing a back-half of my 62 Plymouth. This was just a fast streeter. Using leaf-springs ..... it was almost 4k$ including everything. That was having a chassis guy do-it.
To spend almost 4k$ to actually run SLOWER ... no way !!

I should explain that last statement.
I was considering putting a big MT tire on my car ... mostly for looks. But my SS leaf-spring suspension worked fine.... for a high 11 second car. I was doing this on a 6-8" Hoosier DOT tire.
But after some considerations ... I decided against that since IF the car hooks well with a small tire. Pulling a bigger tire down the track(that is not necessary for starting line traction) will hurt both overall ET and speed.
