Well today I experimented with door removal. Not too bad with the cherry picker. The plan is to remove all doors, then clean, paint and seam seal the inside floors/trunk and coat it with alligator skin. After that lift the body and sort out the floor/trunk from the underside with the same techniques. When I'm done it will be a total colour change to black, right down to the firewall under the dash 
. With the body off the frame the frame will be painted along with all the suspension and the body re-installed. Then clean and paint the inside of the doors and re-install, then the drive train, front clip then paint, new roof and install the interior, should be done in a couple of weeks...not!

Absolutely LOVE this build diary. Read the whole thing top to bottom! Can't wait to see the fully finished project. I sold my Road Runner convertible a while back and now I'm looking for a 1977 or 76 LTC to resto-mod and drive wheels off of! Also following you over at the Lincoln forum.

You're really making me miss the '78 Town Coupe I had 30+ years ago.
