Well got some quality time with the Lincoln this weekend  


Getting ready to weld the door half of the hinge in place, had to install the front door to make sure everything will line up square when I unbolt the OEM rear door hinges.




Got the factory door latch removed as well as the door handle




The attachment plate doesn't go into the door as far as I would like. Going to take some serious bracing.





View from inside the passenger compartment.




The side impact beam will provide some needed bracing attachment point.

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.
