In this MotorTrend Channel episode, the team delves into upgrading the front suspension of a classic Mopar Muscle Car, focusing on a disc brake swap. They tackle the challenge of converting a car originally equipped with small drum brakes to a more modern and efficient disc brake system. Utilizing parts from later models, they aim to enhance the car's performance and safety on the road. The discussion revolves around the intricacies of the suspension design typical of Mopar Muscle Cars from the 1960s and early 1970s, highlighting the need for upgrades like new upper control arms and lower ball joints.

Moving on from the exhaust system, the team dives into the process of installing new front discs and a master cylinder to complement the disc brake conversion. They emphasize the importance of bleeding the brakes meticulously to ensure optimal functionality. Additionally, they address the need to rework the steering column to match the car's interior aesthetics, striving for a cohesive and authentic look. The episode showcases the team's attention to detail and dedication to revamping every aspect of the vehicle for both performance and visual appeal.

As they work on removing the master cylinder and replacing it with a newer model, the team navigates through the challenges of securing brake lines and fasteners. Their hands-on approach and problem-solving skills shine as they tackle each task with precision and expertise. Furthermore, the discussion touches upon the car's history as a three-speed manual shift on the column, adding a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to the project. Overall, the episode captures the essence of classic car restoration, blending modern upgrades with respect for the vehicle's heritage and original design.
