My suspension is almost a wrap. Setting the torsion bars back in tonight. Then it's on to the transmission.

Torsion bars are back in the wagon as of last night. I forgot what a PITA that job is. I'm sure I'll need to adjust and level everything out once my motor is bolted up. I painted my master cylinder last night as well. Looks like it will be a snug fit below the booster, but it will work. Once that's bolted up I can run my new lines. More updates this weekend.

You might consider running a master with a remote reservoir. That is what I am using. It will make working on it so much easier. I am using an iron master from a guy on Ebay, but there are aluminum Mopar masters too. They are all 2 bolt and require an adapter that is available from Mopar Performance.

I actually found another master on the shelf in the shop that will work better than the one I originally intended to use. This was formerly a drum to drum master, and we converted it to disc to drum. I have decent clearance now. Still have yet to run my lines and make a bracket for my SSBC proportioning valve. Perhaps this weekend that'll get done.

Yeah, that is the typical one that most people use. It works, but is more difficult to fill and work with. This is the one I am using, but I am not using this reservoir. I have an aluminum one that is skinnier and looks better.

Awesome. I'll see how this set up works for now. I can always change it later. I just want to be done with the front end already. I'm over it.

Brake lines are in, and I think I am finally ready to put the motor in.
