Small update today, got the rear bumper removed. Now I know where the missing insulation from the headliner went LOL.
Good thing I have a good replacement from the parts car.
Replacing this metal above the tail lights could be a PITA.
Left side not any better.
Has anyone had any luck successfully removing the chrome trim from the tail light? The pins holding them together are heated and smushed together. I was thinking grinding them flat and drilling and tapping for some screws.
Man I hate piss poor bodywork. There is actually original paint still on the metal under the bondo!
And the moron bodyman punched through the inner panel to unsuccessfully push out the dent and just left it like that :(
Hopefully the parts car's rear quarter is in better shape under the paint.

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.

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