Once you have the motor and transmission mounted, it might be a good ideal to remove the axle nuts from the hubs and test slide the axles in and out to check the centering of everything between the axles. Since those axles are just a tiny bit shorter than the originals, it is a little more critical to have the tranny well centered between them. With both axles pushed into the tranny, you can watch where they go into the hubs as you slide them in and out of the hubs, which gives you a good visual perspective if one of the axles is able to go further into that hub. There will always be a little more in and out travel between the trans and the hubs than there is on the ICE configuration, but I have never had any problems with it. I have had it over 100 mph and done smoky burn outs, and no troubles with the axles. Your build is looking great, it looks like food for a man's soul.
