How bad do you want a 55? Personnally I like the 2 door posts better than the hardtops. It's been 20 yerars since I dealt with a 55 chevy, but the parts you need are everywhere and just about anything. They just aren't cheap.
I have seen what you are describing go from anywhere around $1000 (if they like you) to couple grand. Since yours is a post and by numbers a 210 and not a Belair, I would say closer to the lower end. If you can get it for under a grand and that is what you want go for it, but it will cost you, especially the body trip.
You can adapt suspension from chevy alsmost to it. My High school friend still has a 56 that has the entire undercarriage and mechanics from his 69 vette.
Good luck man. They are the "CLASSIC HOT ROD"....nest to Randy's coupe.
