You cannot connect the chassis to 'neutral' and to the output from a bridge rectifier. You can either have a conventional AC/DC arrangement, with 'neutral' chassis and half-wave rectification via a dropper resistor, or you can have a bridge rectifier and the circuit completely isolated from the chassis. Both have dangers.
