Received some pics from my powdercoater, one more control arm to finish!




Picking up my epoxy primer for the frame tomorrow and should have that painted on the weekend. Ordered my new body mounts today and should be in next week. I will have the floor bottom finished as well and then the frame can go back under the car to get the drive train and suspension back in.

Today I finished the small repairs to the frame.


Filled in this dent with weld.



One of the rear shock mounts got gibbled from a loose shock.



Clamped a piece of copper behind so the weld would not stick.



All welded up!




Hopefully it will be warm enough to paint the frame tomorrow!

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.
