Looking good! Little tip on those push lock hoses. (U may already know) If you heat them up with a heat gun, then add little hand soap to the fitting they slide right on fully. Noticed some didn't look fully seated. Also a couple rubber isolators will quiet that pump mount job 50% or so.

Awesome progress!

How did you go about keeping the rear end square while welding on the brackets?

a4ls2goat

Eh. Pretty much just eye balled it and kept measuring to make sure it was some what good. Im sure its not perfect. But itll work.

If he took 3in out of the long side and centered the pinion, it's 56 1/2 total width. This is going to be a sweet build.

Ever used sheet metal nibblers? Think radio shack sells them for 15-20$ They are great for nipping away at sheet metal to slip gauges in. Looks like you hammered those bastards in! (and not a thing wrong with that I might add)

vht

He didn't hammer them in, he used a press to press them in.
