We received this Lincoln Club Coupe into the shop on October 24th 2023. We are excited to share this build with you in real time as we are tearing it down and following the build process throughout the project from start to finish. Unique parameters have afforded us the ability to bring you this presentation of our work. This build is one of few projects in the shop that we can share freely. Many of our builds are kept under wraps with no public photography allowed for the protection of our intellectual property, custom designs and innovations. Typically not until the project is completed and we have had the maiden reveal in person do we share a build of this caliber.
Check back with us weekly for progress gallery updates as we will continue to make strides with this custom build. Depending on what stage of the process we are in it will showcase all of our work done in house starting from the teardown, into design elements, custom modifications, metal panel fabrication, body work and paint and final assembly.
We have been challenged with completing this build within a strict time frame. 365 days is our target goal and we aim to deliver. Join us as we countdown to the finish line. The most recent updates are shown first. To view the build progression from the beginning, starting with delivery and initial teardown, start here with our first page of galleries and work your way backwards.

*UPDATE*
Although we strive to meet the one year challenge goal presented to us by the client, ultimately the best outcome takes precedence over a strict time frame. Our initial design was achievable within this timeframe, however, after teardown as we began customizations the project evolved significantly, inspiring us to enhance the build even further.
Expanding on the redesign and customization process, multiple stages of modifications along with the ripple effect on adjacent areas led to even further extensive metal fabrication. Nearly every panel has been heavily modified or replaced with entirely newly fabricated sheet metal. While pushing every aspect of this build wasn’t our initial intent, it is our specialty, and we are happy to oblige. We are adaptable to meet our clients’ needs, taking the build as far as they desire to turn their dream into a reality.
We believe the fabrication and mechanical aspects will all be refined, operational, and completed within the year mark. However, the paint process is a different matter. The painting process is time consuming and cannot be rushed. At Steve's auto restorations we have an unwavering commitment to quality, and never cut corners.
