Re: My Blue 1957 build

Well, still getting the motor cleaned up. I got my stainless bolt kit so i have been slowly bolting things back together. Waiting for pricing on a street & performance pulley setup then i will figure out which route i will be going. Started to piece the body back together, but the rain had other plans for me
