I also set the pinion angle as I had the coils off.




And I secured the exhaust.

LOL, I actually was in the garage today installing the summer tires on the daily driver, getting the bike ready for the season, and was mucking around a little on the Lincoln. Maybe next weekend we'll get going on it. As you can see it's still buried.




And today I actually solved the mystery of this panel that was laying under the carpet;




It looks like on cars not equipped with the auto shut-off feature for the headlights it gets screwed into the hole behind the drivers side kick panel. As my 77 has this option the fellas on the line just tossed it on the floor during assembly.





The 75's non-auto shut off optioned kick panel.

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

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.
