Just found your thread and got caught up, and what an awesome project! Some really cool options on that 'bee and as you can see in my signature I love triple black on these cars :icon_thumleft: good luck with the resto!

I haven't been very good at updating this. Let's see if I can get caught up.

Wow, I'm really behind. Here goes...
The pile of stuff removed. Someone had to try a Dukes of Hazzard with that tank...

- - - Updated - - -

Working on the brakes. It was a learning experience using The Right Stuff conversion.

After I realized that the hose routing in the instructions didn't work. Had to flop the spindles, and ended up putting Camaro hoses on it.

New master cylinder and lines. Checking routing before I gave the engine bay a quick bath.

- - - Updated - - -

After bath. Not too much more impressive.

- - - Updated - - -

Time to add the clutch.

The transmission wasn't assembled yet, so I used the new input shaft for a alignment tool...

Pressure plate. I believe it is a Ram setup. But I don't remember. Bought it off a Moparts member with no runtime on it. The disk doesn't have any organic material on it, and it grabs well....

Going home...

Ohio - I got the same kit from Dr. Diff, took the front end apart and hopefully will start reassembly this weekend. Did you bolt up the knuckle starting from the UCA or LCA? And how easy or difficult was it lining up and installing the upper ball joint into the knuckle? Thanks.

That looks like getting stung by the Bee could be fatal!

I am pretty sure I hooked up the upper ball joint first. Then the lower ball joint. The front suspension hasn't been apart yet other than that. Lol. It wasn't hard at all to put it back together.
