Rear axle housing is installed along with a pair of NOS Motorcraft shocks. Tomorrow I will install the axles and the rear brake components. I painted the brake backing plates today and they need over night to dry. The red you see on the carrier is Ditzler DP-74 epoxy primer used to duplicate the red oxide the factory used. On removable carrier axles Ford dipped the castings in red oxide primer before machining them. That is why you see the bright "silver" spots on the casting, this is where the casting was machined so there would be bare metal in this area. I painted these areas with a natural metal paint to duplicate this look but the paint won't rust. The ID tag I plated with zinc to avoid rust. The pinion nut and the carrier retaining nut are replated with a zinc dichromate finish.

Axles installed and brakes done, almost a shame to cover it up with the drum. Next the motor! :)

very nice job there , doing my 76 V-6 right now ,  have a 79 V-6 Crusing wagon also that is on the waiting list, guess your going for the all orginal look with the smog pump and egr valve , and the valve cover stickers, I know that someone makes the 2.8 decal for the air cleaner top,  keep up the good work

If you need any engine parts let me know. To restore mine I scavenged 3 parts engines and have parts left over.

thanks but already got the engine done , done a few mods , took the 2.9 crank out of my wifes dead bronco II , machined the nose to take the gear (never liked chains) and installed it with a comp two cam, headers and TBI fuel injection ( see ranger site for the 2.8 conversion ) and a remote oil filter ( got tired of oil running down my arm every time I pulled the filter ) and last a A4LD automatic overdrive , get rid of the buzz at hwy speeds, but yours will look like a factory new car, nice

Engine bay is ready for the completed engine/transmission assembly. Hope to get the transmission back from the shop next week (had a little problem with the reassembly and called in the reinforcements). If anyone needs some of the wire loom covering I have plenty and will sell you enough to redo your car cheap. I had to buy the stuff in 100' rolls so I have alot left over. I have 3/4" ID, 1/2" ID and 1/4" ID but no extra clips or connectors as I reused my old ones. Let me know if interested.

Wow you've done some really nice work!

Was the washer reservoir bag an option on some models? My 77 sedan had the standard plastic washer reservoir.

I believe it was just the medthod they used with a V-6 in 1977. There isn't mush room with a V-6 and power steering in that area.

I did it! I successfully stuffed 10 pounds of stuff into a 5 pound pail!! I got the transmission back Saturday and Sunday I installed the engine transmission assembly into the car.
 

Transmission bolted to engine.
 

Blankets padding the engine bay to avoid paint damage.
 

At this point I almost thought it was going to be impossible!

Moving from front to back, the dash is in! For those of you with a black interior a perfect match for the factory semi flat black is SEM 39144 trim paint, it also comes in spray cans for those without a gun and an air compressor. The first picture is before the dash was installed and the second is after......... duh! ;)
 

 
Ignore the toy tractor sitting on the cowl, it is actually sitting on a saw horse in front of the car. I am restoring it for a friends new grandson.

Thanks for the kind complements. As for the bag vs bottle thing, I have owned this car since new and it came with the bag. I actually ordered it late in 1976 and it was built in March of 1977. Maybe it was an early build thing that got changed over later, or maybe they just ran out of bottles and used this to keep the line going? All I know is replacement bags are nonexistent but luckily mine is in good shape! If anybody out there has a good bag I would be interested in buying a spare!

Every time you post new photos I got to say wow, this is beyond Restoration . hope you got the dealer sticker to put on the window because its going to look better than new,  but also notice that you car does not have A/C , and been trying to find out the water pump pulley diameter , have two almost tore apart pintos and got the pulleys mixed up, one is smaller than the other , one pinto did not come with a/c and the one I am almost finished with does, also been thinking of making a two grove pulley because the belt broke and ran hot and cracked both heads , this set up always ate belts , also yours does not have the big alt , both of mine do, along with the big 5 blade flex fan from the factory , so if you have time can you let me know what diameter you have , thanks Blaine   (in hot butt Missisippi
