Got tired of sniffing fumes in the trunk from removing the seam sealer (using the old gas from the tank 
)
Getting closer to lifting the body off the frame.
The spare shed is getting full LOL!
Hopefully get the motor pulled this weekend and all the suspension removed from the frame. There is a fella in Belleville that will come to the house and soda blast whatever I need for $125.00 and hour. He quoted me 3 hours to blast the frame and I will get him to spot blast the rust issues on the body at the same time.

Sounds good, we'll play it by ear.
Got some more de-construction done to the dash.
Got my step-sons hands dirty removing the blower motor. How on earth would you service this part with the fender still on LOL!
Found this piece sitting near the left front body mount. I think it may have been used for alignment when dropping the body on the frame?
I would really like to paint this dash frame, but it's a major source of grounds for the main harness.
Well I'm slowly getting near the finish in regards to having a totally stripped body 
Yes, when I replaced the heater core on my old P71 Interceptor it was simpler with the dash removed!

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.
