About “little blue beast”
it is my fist car and i plan on keeping it for a long time i am going to re-do the interior and some exterior parts. i am at the moment putting a 350 4 bolt main out of a truck into it with a 350 turbo tranny and i am painting it next year if everything goes to plan. the motor was re-built by me, my cousin, and dad.i have put approx. $ 2500.00 or more in the car.my car is now running for the first time since december after i get a couple more parts it will be completely done and on the road again!!!! i will have more pics and videos very soon. if you have any questions just ask.
