I installed the front and rear Reilly Motorsports Coilover suspension this week. Whats next is checking the fitment of my tires, and starting on the brakes. The oil pan for the hemi is on back order right now so I have to wait for the mock up install at the moment.

Welding up all the holes in the firewall. A smooth look is what I am after. I ran the brake line behind the firewall. I got the Hydroboost unit off a astro van . Wilwood master and clutch master and ajustable proportioning valve. I getting ready to run brake line to the back next and cut the transmission tunnel for the 6speed.

I cut the transmission tunnel out today. My focus is to get the transmission up into the tunnel and keep the driveline angle at -01 degrees .I will make up the trans crossmember after I install the motor. more pictures at http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/...uring%20Build/

Awesome project!! The progress is looking great so far! Cant wait to see it all come together...I had a few questions about your clutch setup. What is the bore of the wilwood master, are you planning on running a stock viper throwout bearing, and for your pedal did you remove the huge "counter spring" from the pedal? Thanks.

Did you fab the aluminum adapter for your astrovan hydraboost or buy one for ****** or others? Also what brand steering column? Flaming River universal or Ididit direct fit?

Thanks-Wes

Hello, I used a Wilwood 1 1/8 bore master. From what I seen a 1 inch or less would make the pedal more touchy. On the Throw out bearing, I bought a whole kit from keisler ,instead of trying to find all the right parts to make it work. I'm running a Ididit column ,I plan on installing a EZ wiring universal 8 ciruct harness .The hydroboost plate I made myself on my mill they are 1inch thick and can clock the hydroboost unit at 180 .I made them to fit the firewall of 70-74 Mopar e-body and 68-72 b-body I made 4 extras to sell they are available at http://www.custommachinecomponents.c...at=Mopar+Parts My company makes lots of unique prototypes (mostly specialty tools for vintage cars) Having this equipment is a plus
