Evening troops!
Got the rest of the frame stripped today 
Started striping down the engine, just over 55k miles on it.
Only broke 4 water pump bolts :(
The distributor put up a fight!
Still have a cross hatch in the cylinder walls!
So all in all a good day. The sandblaster dude should be here on Thursday for the frame. Looks like I'll be able to order standard size flat top pistons, I'll just do a quick de-glazing of the cylinder walls. Hopefully the crank will be just as clean!

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.
