We last wrote about former Shreveporter JT Nesbitt as the designer parted ways with the Confederate Motor Company. Nesbitt and Confederate created the extraordinary motorcycle called the Wraith. After Katrina destroyed their building, the cycle company moved to Alabama; the romantic Nesbitt headed back to the French Quarter. There he opened the design shop called Bienville Studios.
While he is still dreaming up audacious cycle designs, his current project is rehabbing a big-block Lincoln which was drowned in the muddy water of Katrina. He and his partner plan to run the phoenix at Bonneville and shoot for the land speed record in the car's class. The vehicle has been dubbed the Stinkin Linkin ("It smelled like a sack of dead rats when we got it," he explains).
Much of that odyssey is documented in sketch and photo at the clean Bienville Studios web site. There's merchandise, too.
