Torsion bars are Left or Right, there is no front or back.
As long as you keep the L/R correct, you're good.

Thanks I just finished installing them yesterday.

I got another issue with the front calipers. When i screw in the front brake hose it seem like its not long enough to reach the tab on the frame where it hooks up to the brake line.

Can't tell from pic, but hose should bolt to top and rear of caliper and route back under the spindle bolt.

Just a FYI...the torsion bars your using are slant 6 - 318 parts, depending on what engine you choose might be a little light. Also the paint marks you applied should be orange to be correct for those specific bars not aluminum color. I know your not going for OEM correctness but just thought I'd throw in this information.

Was at hot rod drag week today. It was on the east coast this year.

Got my 70 dollars steering coupler rebuild kit and painted the interior with corroseal

[Katfish]

Never hrd of corroseal, what's the advantage?

Its better than por15. Just brush 2 coats on and watch it eat the rust away. They use this stuff in the ship yard

Today I paint the hood,trunk,front valance, rear valance and fenders with 2k primer

[Cuda70-74]

Painted one side of the hood and trunk lid. Finished painting the fenders,front and rear valance. Found out the one used rear tail light cover doesn't fit it bent smh. Going to start working on the doors and get them ready for paint before it gets too cold outside
