Quarantine progress!
Rockauto is open so I decided to check on the rear brakes. Found no hard lines to the drums (probably due to the rebuilt rear) all other brake hardware is new. Gonna order new cylinders anyway, not gonna trust 20+ year old things that have been sitting.
Also found no rear sway bar but the provision for one is there. Speedway motors makes a nice looking kit to add a rear sway bar to F body's so I'm going to order that up.

Next up was the engine mounts. When I removed the engine I didnt wanna fight the mounts out on the dirt. Glad I waited cuz they were a little tedious. Cant imagine doing that job with the front clip on and the engine in. Flare nut wrench for the top two bolts on the passenger side through access holes. All other bolts with a swivel and combination of extensions.
New mounts are in and I sprayed a little bit of rust o leum rust reformer on the inner rails of the subframe. Had a little bit of surface rust, really the only part of the car that has a bit of rust.
Next up is getting her up on jack stands after I replace the axle seal on my tractor. Once shes up on stands I'm going to go through the brake system and order whats needed. I'm tempted to order a new booster and master just for looks alone but I know some of the remans can be hit and miss. So I'm going to get the system sealed up and see if it holds vacuum.
