Default Ironworks Tri-5 chassis gets LS9 with Ceramic brakes for a 1957 Chevrolet.

Well guys, We are building a chassis for a super nice guy named Greg from Las Vegas that is having the boys at Rods and Resto's in Alabama build him his 2nd car. A 1957 chevy Belair. Since Greg is a Chevy man it had to have the best of the best. So how about an LS9 with a Tremec 5 spd. Plus a set of ZR1 brakes.....WOW.

The wheels are just roller for the weekend in Scottsdale. So the calipers won't even fit. But man does this thing look sweet.

We might be putting an LS7 in a 1980 MG in a few weeks.

No he just thinks he needs Kurt Urban to build an LS7 for his MG. I think an Ecotech would be more than enough.
