Got a lot of work done this weekend on the TC.
All of the underneath is finally complete 
Sequence of events was as follows;
1- Clean metal with lacquer thinner and remove surface rust with wire wheel.
2- Spray on rust convertor, let dry as per directions.
3- Primer coat.
4- Base coat of black. Gloss black on the floor/trunk and semi-gloss on the fire wall.
5- Brush on the seam sealer.
6- Over coat with black when seam sealer dried. (overnight)
7- Spray on Bed Armour on the floor/trunk areas.
Here the firewall has just been sanded after the seam sealer has dried.
Before final coat of paint.
After final top coat.
Under the drivers side floor looking backwards.
Forward trunk bulkhead, will be installing the fuel tank this week.
Back seat area where the seat belt anchors are.
New toolbox from Home Depot, $399.00!
Also got all the rear control arm bushings removed, these will be powder coated as well.
As you can tell I also slid the frame back under the body 
Next project is to rebuild the rear diff and get that mounted back up after installing the fuel tank. After that I will run the new fuel and brake lines.
Until next time!

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.
