    Wow! Lots of work done there! Big load on the rotisserie, and that front crossmember was like swiss cheese!

    Yep, that front crossmember is the 'Achilles heel' of '55-'56 Fords, I've seen plenty that seemed to be composed of rust and fresh air!

    I guess they fill with water (radiator overflow?) and rust from the inside.
