\"1957<\/a><\/p>\n

Brett Fiemel sent his 1957 Chevy Bel Air to Roadster Shop<\/a> for better handling and power. The company installed one of their Fast Track chassis<\/a> under the unrestored but mintubbed body. The suspension features a 58.75-inch track, C7 Corvette spindles and hubs, FS Fox coilovers, and parallel 4-bar rear suspension. In the engine bay they installed a 408 ci LQ9 V8 flanked by two Precision 6266 turbochargers and a stainless steel exhaust. The motor produces 1050 hp to the wheels through a T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission and Strange 9-inch rear end with 31-spline axles. A set of Forgeline O1E billet wheels cover Baer disc brakes front and rear. View more photos of the progress in the build album<\/a>.<\/p>\n
