Thanks for hanging around!
Had to lift it up in stages, a little in the front, a little in the back, until we could squeeze the table underneath.
As I couldn't get the table back as far as I would like, I strapped the trunk latch to the roof trusses LOL.
Now to strip the frame and pull it out from under. Then the underside of the body will get painted.
When all is done I'm gonna have the sturdiest work bench ever!

Just a quick update for everyone.
This is the fuel tank vent line to the charcoal canister. The rusty hole is on the top of the line, could not see it from underneath. Sure explains the fuel smell inside the car.
Easy fix on the floor boards :)
Trunk floor.
Old track link bushing. Going to try to fit one from the front strut bars like Dan suggested.
Had to cut the front coils as without the engine for weight or a proper compressor this was the easy way. For re-assembly a spring compressor will be used.
Hopefully have most of the front suspension in to the powder coaters within the next two weeks.
Notice the yellow paint on the upper spindle for the ball joint torque check.

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.
