1977 Towncar Resto mod! by sauceman

Got the rust cut out of the rear floor and made a patch. I had to be careful not to cut into the seat belt anchor that is spot welded under the floor.

I have got almost all the metal work done, just the rear window to fix up, and then I will lift the body off the frame to remove all the surface rust from the underside and frame.

Today was a good day! Got to meet Mike (navguy12) and his brother as they stopped in to check out the Town car. Was really good to put a face to a name and meet in person which does seem rare on forums such as this LOL.

So todays update;

As many of you know it can't all be about Lincoln, unfortunately. Had to redo my trailer as it was getting pretty long in the teeth as they say. Before.

Getting new braces as I switched from plywood to slats.

All fixed!

Ok back to the Lincoln!

Rear passenger floor repaired.

One problem is the lack of proper drainage, this is at the bottom of the driver side A pillar. You can see the rust where water would pool up.

Now this is the pass side. I filled in the step with fibreglass bondo (long strand) it just needs the final sanding. This will let the water run off the cowl down to the ground like it should.

Got about half of the firewall cleaned up!

And I started fixing the right side rocker. It was crushed in pretty good, had to cut it open and bend it down, then use the hammer and dolly to straighten it. After that it will folded back up and welded shut :).

Until next time!
