Default my rear end and homebuilt torque arm

This is my project I have been working on. It's a moser housing DLS ultimate center section, motive 4.30 gears, moser spool, 35 spline, 10 bolt pinion support, back brace, lca relocation brackets, fill cap, drain, madman shock brackets, spohn drag sway bar. The torque arm was built with 1" .156 wall mild steel tubing, the rear mount from 1/4" mild steel plate, rear adjusters are a set of ladderbar adjusters with solid 3/4 rod ends, front is qa1 rod end. I had to buy a right and left hand 3/4-16 taps. Front mount is bmr xtream crossmember modified to fit a S&W subframe conectors, drive shaft loop was cut off a SLP drive shaft loop. I also made a panhard bar out of the same 1" .156 wall tubing and used left and right hand rod ends and made some spacer bushing on the lathe. I also have SJM rod ended lower control arms. The torque is about 36 inchs long. Everything is powder coated. I hope it works out ok, will find out in a few weeks. Taking it too the pontiac tripower nationals at norwalk,oh 8-10-07 to 8-12-07. This is a nice event.

Yes I am a machinist. By rear adjusters i mean the left hand male to right hand female adapters that the rod ends thread into on back of torque arm for adjusting pinion angle. I have a small mill and stock saw at home and a tig welder at work. Thankyou for the replies
