I'm not familiar with the way your '56 is built but I just welded regular nuts in place of the ones were stripped in mine. You may have to do some surgery to get to them but that's part of the fun... yea, right grin

As for rust treatment, I'm sold on Eastwood's rust treatment products and they just released their RUST CONVERTER in an aerosol. I'd recommend that.
