Talland#44; flashyand#44; and exceptionally fast – gassers are a cool unique era in custom classics that command attention simply because they tower over the other cars at the showsand#44; literally. You dont see these oftenand#44; especially done like this. But when you want to be recognized even in a crowd of standoutsand#44; then you need a nicely restored gasser made from an icon like this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. The paint has only about 900 miles on it since restoration... and thats the exact first impression this Chevy gives. The slick Inferno Red was applied over the exterior with a professional hand and enough clearcoat to grab attention from across the show field. But its not just an investment in paint and body that has you attracted to this coupeand#44; but also the way it nicely represents the gasser culture. After alland#44; these were all about shedding weight and transferring force to the rear wheels. So it correctly has the front bumper removedand#44; and in its placeand#44; chromed welded camshafts that are lighter and look soooo much cooler. With the high solid axle installed you get to show the world whole header package and bright exhaust cutouts. The profile keeps plenty of the original Bel Air flair with the iconic brightwork looking like it received attention during restorationand#44; including the sweeping side trim. But now theres also no denying its performance heart with items like the air grabber protruding from the hood and even the custom graphics that announce this 57 is a Fuelish Pleasure. Inside is more of that premium feel with the gassers edge. It starts with an exceptionally fresh interior finished in peal white. The bench seats carry a hint of tuck-n-roll thats repeated on all the side panelsand#44; and even the floor matsand#44; for a very cool and uniform presentation. Plusand#44; the red accents on the doorsand#44; carpetingand#44; and dash match the exterior for an overall thoughtful build. Gassers are very custom machinesand#44; and this one lives up to that heritage quite nicely. You see it in period-correct upgrades like the Moon sweeping tachand#44; Bandamp;M shifterand#44; and stylized 58 Impala steering wheel. Plusand#44; there are some nice modern upgrades like the SunPro auxiliary gaugesand#44; and an AM/FM/CD/AUX deck that connects to a premium subwoofer stereo system. But even with all this great audio inside the carand#44; we know your favorite soundtrack starts under the hood. Just like the rest of the carand#44; the engine bay is built for both showand#44; and goand#44; during the restoration 900 miles ago. Youll love showcasing the shine on just about every component. Plus the etching on the air grabberand#44; valve coversand#44; oil capand#44; all match the painted engine bay... and it all matches the bold Red Firemist exterior. Beyond the style of this V8 is the substance of a small block 350 thats been bored out to 355. Andand#44; go-fast goodies have been addedand#44; including a large QFT four-barrel carburetorand#44; Edelbrock hi-rise intakeand#44; Mallory electronic ignitionand#44; Corvette-style double-hump headsand#44; and performance headers. Youve already seen how great that last feature looks through the wheel wellsand#44; but what you might not noticeand#44; is that the full dual exhaust exits out the rear. This gives the Cherry Bombs and straight pipes plenty of time to create a nice roarand#44; or you can just open the cutout covers for the ultimate experience. But dont just enjoy the sound; see its journey in the undercarriage photos. There youll see more restoration investments in everything from aesthetics like the color-matched oil panand#44; to helpful features...like the front disc brakes. The total package said to produce 425 hpand#44; and making sure that all this power gets to the ground properly is the control of the Muncie four-speed manual transmission. This is the complete gasser |
