That lincoln is sexy!

You guys didn't happen to ship a '57 chassis to Kansas recently? I havent talked to Bright Built in a couple weeks due to being busy at work and dealing with all the crappy weather but was hoping it made its way to their shop.

You guys do some amazing work, definitely inspiring to see.

Thanks everyone.

The chassis is shipping this week. It is all crated and ready to go. Just waiting on the funds to clear and then it is on it's way to you.

No snow jumps planned just yet! We have plenty of snow, just need a 1984 station wagon.

Great to hear, thanks for the update! Can't wait to see the car begin to come together. It's in a million pieces at the moment.

Here are a few shots of the car in various stages of the build.

Here are the original renderings by Eric Brockmeyer





The car as it rolled in. A really, really solid, unmolested, original Texas car. There was no rust anywhere and the car retains all of the original panels.



Primed and prepped for paint. The body is mostly stock and I never took any good pictures of the metal work. The drip rails were shaved, filled the emblems and trim holes, and fabbed new tail light housings that are now a part of the body rather than the original bolt on piece. The majority of the work was done to the bumpers.

Thank you, that helped my fix a little bit, but we really need to see those bumpers.

Bumpers and various parts primed and ready to shoot.




Painted bumpers. Matte charcoal on the diffuser section of the bumper.



We removed the license plate recess on the front bumper and reshaped the openings to give it a better look.

There ya go Garick. That is about all I have on the car for now. We still have to sand and buff the body and a few other components, then will begin assembly. We have a few other customer cars going so it might be a while before the next batch of updates.
