Just finished pulling out the carpet, quite pleased with the condition of the floor.
Passenger side, minty fresh!
Driver side, some minor surface rust.

Todays update, got the vinyl roof removed 
This is the row of nuts securing the front trim piece on the Landau roofs.
Kitty being ever so helpful.
Had a little mouse issue at one time.
Vinyl gone, now to remove the padding
Can someone buy a 45 gallon drum of "Goo-B-Gone"?
Gratuitous engine pic.
I'm trying to lower the window with no battery in the car. If I hook ground up to the door and touch Pos (+) to one of these wires feeding the window motor you would think it would operate, but it doesn't :(

Thanks for the info, I'll try that tomorrow.
OK, another question. I searched thru the repair manual and didn't find the answer. After removing the bottom row of screws, are there any other hidden ones or does this red gauge surround just pop off?
And another dilemma. It's still the original windshield in good shape (no cracks). I would like to remove it for paint but fear it getting cracked. What are some opinions on here about this?

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.
