Default What suspension setup would you got with on this 68 Camaro build?

I'm in the process of budgeting out all my parts and costs and setups. I really want to build a hell of a car, but being mainly donation based I can't afford to go nuts.

Ideally I would like to run an AirRide setup, but even with the sweet sponsorship deal they offered me I am not sure I can afford it. I'm going to try and sell off some of my stuff and pick up some powdercoating jobs and see where that would put me towards getting the system, but provided that doesn't pan out, where would you go?

Stock lower a-arms with a tubular upper a-arm, coil spring, and shock combo
Tubular upper and lowers with a coil spring and shock combo
Tubular upper and lowers with a coilover
Sell a testicle and buy the AirRide system (my family is good at having boys, it must be worth something!)

Now, keep in mind that this car will be a cruiser/show car that might see some track time, but mostly will be street driven. I really want to go all out on the car, but I need to spend money on the body and interior as well.

What would you guys do? The subframe is going on the rotisserie tonight and I'll be looking for a decision on what the hell I am going to do within the next few weeks.
