Few more updates -
Proportioning valve installed, had to cut and re-flare.. some practice and patience and it's in.
Also had to cut one of the lines heading up to the distribution block, frozen in.. had the MM kit so that is all set.
MC bench bled and installed, all lines plumbed and tightened.
bled brakes today, 2x, probably once more to get fresher fluid to the rear, front looked good while back was still darker.
STB installed (need to figure out a better way to address the vacuum tree, it's re-installed but ii'm not thrilled with it.
broke the front control arm bolts loose, wanted to ensure i torqued them down under load (i wasn't 100% sure, so better safe/sorry)
painted drive shaft (will get an aluminum one in the future)
painted mufflers (thanks for the idea
@Rdub6
cleaned/painted wheel wells (tacking fuel tank tomorrow)
cleaning and touching up chassis (awaiting paint)..
one door panel and vapor barrier re-installed, the other tomorrow..
