Yes Mike that's what I figured although I'm not even close to getting the chrome re-done yet LOL.
Well I have surgically removed the right taillight "bulkhead". Going to bring it to a metal fabricator to see if they can replace the rusty parts.
There were a few spot welds!
Thanks previous body man, you suck!
Now I can get to the backside of the dents.
It only took me about 1 1/2 hours to remove the panel.
Starting to flatten out already!

Got a little done to the old girl recently. Have removed all of the bondo from the shoddy repair on the right rear quarter. I don't know what type of paint he used but the 80 grit disc on the grinder was melting the paint instead of grinding it LOL. I just sprayed some etching primer on until the actual body work gets started.
Got an idea for a little cubby hole in the trunk. Since I'm going with a dual exhaust with small diameter resonators I'm thinking of sealing off the hump for the factory resonator and cutting in a hatch like a glove box.

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.
