Well I decided to go with painting the heads. It looks good and will help with preventing corrosion.
I know the dipstick should be blue, but I like this better 
When replacing the outer axle seals you have to remove the
collar and bearing to get to the seal.
New bearing, collar and seal.
Carefully grinding the collar. When you get just so far,
the stress of the press fit will crack the collar.
Scared the shit out of me when I did it the first time.
The carnage!
I'm soaking the flanges in rust remover overnight and
will re-assemble tomorrow.

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.
