In your second to last picture it looks like your dif is bleeding from the cut you made
The work looks good on the rear axle. Keep the pictures comming. What thickness plate are you going to use the plate it with ?
Thanks bro..I'm thinkin either 3/16s or 1/4. It depends on what I can get; If I get a big enough piece I might wrap it up for some armor. Not sure yet.
