Welcome and as far as being in the proper place I think you will find for the most part we are not too worried about things like that on this forum. It is nice to keep the year you are asking about to the relevant forum since some only look thru forums for years they are interested in but General covers a multitude.
Some forums are more structured but on this one chances are when a post gets started with one subject, by the time the thread ends the subject will have veered off a couple of times or could be something else entirely. It does make searching more difficult but for the most part it is a tradeoff that is accepted because this forum was in part started due to some heavy handed restrictions on another forum that many felt went overboard.
If you have not already done so, I suggest you look thru BigKevs project blog. He started with a 54 Clipper sedan and just about everything he has done is relevant to your car and something you might need to do too.
