An avid fan of the model, Rick located and purchased the car and brought it home. Approximately nineteen years ago, he started the full frame-off restoration.\\n\\nThe drive line begins with a Big Block Chevy motor coupled to a turbo 400 transmission with a Gear Vendor\\u2019s Overdrive Unit and rounding off with a twelve bolt Chevy rear end. Rick made a four link rear suspension for the car and installed Wilwood Brakes all around around. He then added Heidts stainless steel control arms on the front end.\\n\\nWith the project coming to a close, Rick was ready to show the car. When asked how the events and shows have gone, he responded, \\u201cWe\\u2019ve traveled all over New England and New York State, going to shows and cruises with no problems at all. The car runs beautifully.\\u201d&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/July_cars_w_model_2-min-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63792&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#8217;s Red 1957 Chevy 1&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#039;s Red 1957 Chevy&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/July_blue_car_w_model-min-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63791&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#8217;s Red 1957 Chevy 2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#039;s Red 1957 Chevy&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/july_cars-min-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63794&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#8217;s Red 1957 Chevy 3&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#039;s Red 1957 Chevy&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/July_silver_car_w_model-min-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63796&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#8217;s Red 1957 Chevy 4&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#039;s Red 1957 Chevy&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.racingjunk.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/July_cars_w_model-min-min.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;63793&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#8217;s Red 1957 Chevy 5&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Calendar Car: Rick Astle\\u0026#039;s Red 1957 Chevy&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>One of the three Chevys gracing July is Rick Astle\u2019s red \u201857 Bel Air.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":63795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3711,3700,3470,4879],"tags":[5566,39,695,4396,4892,5666,41,117,3934,4888],"class_list":["post-63790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-classifieds","category-featured-vehicles","category-news","category-slideshow","tag-car-features","tag-chevrolet","tag-chevy","tag-featured-cars","tag-galleries","tag-james-cavanaugh","tag-news","tag-racingjunk","tag-rj-calendar","tag-slideshow"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/july_red_car_w_model-min-min.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-gAS","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63797,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63790\/revisions\/63797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
