When deciding how to build a car and what parts to put on it, you'll never be totally satisfied, but if you truly enjoy working on cars that's a good thing. I have owned my '69 bird for over 20 years and it has seen a lot of changes. I'm in the middle of a total suspension and chassis mod right now. If you have the money, do it right. If you don't, wait till you do, sounds like you won't be stuck on the curb with having all your other toys. I just was cleaning out the garage from all the old versions of the car and if I get half my money back it would be a miracle. as far as the rear of the car, I installed an air ride 4-link. Haven't driven it yet, but here was a pleasant surprise. I weighed all the parts taken off, and with the lift bars and leaf springs they weighed 100 lbs. That's going to be about 40 lbs min of UNSPRUNG weight removed. Not too many talk about that!
make a total plan that goes together, fits your budget and you like, then start your project buy different parts, and change your mind 100 times like the rest of us.
keep us posted
