Well I scored well today. Got a new air compressor for the garage. This bad boy should have no problems keeping up with any of my bodywork tools 


The ride home.



Working alone one has to be able to improvise.



Temporarily set in the garage, waiting for a warm day to secure and wire it up.

Happy Easter one and all!


Finally got back into the garage this weekend for the first time this season.


Got started cleaning the frame, lots of work involved, might look into getting it sandblasted.



Dropped the diff out.



Starting to pull the frame out from under the body.



Complete separation!




Now I can better work under the floors!



Pulled the engine out from the parts shed.



A little eviction is in order!



Bad mount :(

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

They were huge! My dad had one. 👍

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.
