'55 project

Hi all,
Joined awhile back, and have been lurking around. I learned a lot already. Ordered a volare video, and I'm not on the dark side I guess. I just couldn't believe the new yorker suspension fell out as easy as it did. But putting it in the ol truck will serve a little more challenging. My project will eventually have a 390 with 3 speed manual with overdrive, an option back in the FE days. I'm hoping I don't have too many clearance issues with that. The truck was pretty much a basket case when I got it. Right now I'm down to the bare frame and starting from the frame up.
