If your moving the rear axle assembly - you going to have to shorten the driveshaft?

Also you going with the torque arm setup?

I think I said it before but I'll say it again... it's nice to see a build and pictures of REAL quality welding.

haha thanks guys....... as i said .... im obviously taking pics of the best looking ones....... but yeah with that Miller 211 with auto set it really takes any of the guess work out of it....... now there are times where i will have to dial it in a lil more....... welding different thicknesses together and welding upside-down is much tougher......

Added some gusset plates across butt welds on the trans tunnel and added gusset boxes on the 4 inner corners of the rear sub.....im sure im overlooking something ...but I think the metal fab work and welding on the rear sub frame is done !!!!!!!! gonna put some caps on the top of the panhard bar mounts to seal em up......

and yes bonecrusher....... the drive shaft and torque arm will have to be lengthened.......the camaro wheelbase was aprox 2 inches shorter than the beretta.... im looking into getting a custom made drive shaft ....not sure where yet..... and will just cut and weld a extension in the torque arm.......

I've used Denny's Driveshafts and Driveshaft Specialists of Texas with success. Of the two I thought DST was the better one. FWIW.
