While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.
The Lynx Engineering replica of the Jaguar D-Type (or, we're assuming it's a Lynx from the brochure that came with it) came to YouTuber Brough Built complete with a drivetrain, chassis, many of the minor bits, and even a full fiberglass body, needing only assembly to become a running and driving car. But the lure of aluminum proved irresistible, and a pair of aluminum doors and other aluminum panels soon turned into a full aluminum body, including tub, atop the replica car's chassis.
The fiberglass body would still prove useful as a buck, but would ultimately contribute nothing to the final build, as we see in this series covering every step of the way, from unpacking all the parts collected for the build to the last panel (so far), the fuel filler cover. It's no full monocoque car, and Donnie did many things his own way throughout the process, but the end result looks far better than the fiberglass knockoff he started with. For the full 22-part saga, head over to his channel.
