One month update

I'm now one month into this project so here's a little update.  I've been doing some painting, trying to protect the new metal and clean things up a bit so I can start assembling and get this thing running again.  Still lots of work to be done but if I can get the truck driving again it will be a lot easier to take it over to Troy's where some jobs will be easier to finish.

Inside the cab I cleaned up the floorboards and applied some POR 15 to put a halt to the rust while work progresses.  I also installed the brake pedal, gas pedal, lower steering column, shift linkage, and PCM.

In the engine compartment I cleaned and painted the firewall then mounted the brake booster.  I also finished painting the battery box but it still needs to dry.

Next steps will be installing the battery and routing all the wiring.  I also have a wiper motor from a Ranger on the way, which I hope to adapt to both the Crown Vic wiring and the F100 wiper linkage.  If all goes well I should have this thing running within the next week or two.
