It can be unnerving, but at least I have an "as per sample" parts car to help with the re-construction 


Got the original windshield removed without cracking it!


No hidden surprises.

I suggest that if you haven't done so recently and your car sits more than it's driven, you might want to make sure that the AC water drain is clear with no obstructions. I think this is the original evaporator that was in the car with about 1/3 of the core obstructed with debris/mouse nests ect. This led to the rotting of the fire wall behind the heater box. It shouldn't be too bad of a fix, but a fix none the less.







The strip-down continues

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.
