Thanks for the inspiration!
New front mounts.
Now the metal work begins, first off is to fix the tail light areas.

Thanks for following along!
In anticipation of the new hinges getting delivered, I started to peel back the inner wall to get better access.
I'm gone for a week for a course so I'll be back at it next weekend.
Shouldn't be too bad LOL. Now if had already received the hinges it would be different 
Spent most of the day cleaning the sheds and sorting parts. And I found my Marvin floor mats, woowhoo!

Let the games begin.
When I actually get started I will put together a separate thread on the install of the suicide hinges.

Got started on the hinges today 
Had to cut a hole in the wheel tub, but all in all a good fit.
Initial cut out.
Topped out the wheel sans springs to make sure that the hinge has room and not hit the tire.
Encroachment into the wheel space.
Nice and straight.

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.
