That's what I've been using so far for the exhaust manifolds and such, I really like the product.


The issue with trying to paint the diff bare steel is all the dimples from rust, I don't think it would look right unless I filled in all the dimples.




Differential going in.



Action shot.



Rock Auto sent the wrong mounts, have to send them back.



Won't even fit the frame

Yes Mike, anytime just shoot me a PM whenever you want to come down. Also if your driving by and the garage doors are open it means I'm home  


Todays installment;


Had to use a ratchet strap to squeeze the rear coils to bolt up the shocks :)



All buttoned up, will do the final torqueing after all the weight is on the ground.



Picked up my parts from the powdercoater!



The new control arm bushings did not quite fit on the crossbar, press to the rescue!


I had thrown out all the old inner bushings except one, thankfully because I used it to press on the new inner sleeves.




until next time!

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.
