(?#) link question: ditching the leaf springs

One of the goals I have for my 61 project is a full air ride suspension. Was staring at the chassis for a few days and I'm thinking the best road to go would be a leaf replacement style 6 link (bar front and rear of the axle with a V shaped assembly attaching to the pumpkin). I've only seen two airbagged 61-66 cars, and they were anonymous pictures on the internet so no chance of asking the owners direct, but I was wondering if there was much precidence/experience floating around with putting 4, 6, or however many link setups on t-birds, and what is the best setup that people are running (if there is any experience around)?

Hey ASTROdog,
Did you ever get the air bags on?
Hope your progress is going better than mine. I have had my '61 in 2 body shops for the past 2 years. (Trade work sucks sometimes) I need to learn to paint.
