    That Chevrolet Beretta looks like a factory RWD as they should have been back in the 80’s at least as a prototype car

    Love this build! I had a pretty nice Beretta in high school.

      Thanks, it should be sweet. My first car in high school was a white 90 GTZ. This is my fourth Beretta. You should check out the playlist of my last one...that was pretty sweet too.

    The axle looks so good under there. That rear cross-frame area is where Betty got the worst of her rust. This almost looks pristine comparatively, lol.

      It's not great, but it's workable. Always looks uglier the deeper you dig into something🤣

    You should completely weld that bar 100% I don't know much about what you are doing in here to learn but as a Dot certified iron worker and Master Welder always 100% ...completely clean that area

    • @GEARHEADdezign

      It has more weld than any of the rest of the car. Cars are spot welded together.

    Cool build, I want LS swaps in everything I own except my mid engined 60s chevy van, I'll never want to modify her not even an hei she's 283/327;only. And luckily my 03,07 and 2010 burbans all have 5.3s my 99 burban is vortec 5.7 but will be ls when motor dies. But I can do motor and Trans swaps but don't do any fab work or welding I'm still waiting om my neighbor or friend to help me,I have a sexy black 06 magnum wagon with a dead hemi and already have a 5.3 LS and 4L60e Trans for her swap but need notor and Trans mounts made,exhaust and more but they both say pull her motor n Trans first but I want a 6.2 s10 blazer 4 door any body style square 1st Gen or round 95 up but 4 door only

      I always figure if you haven't screwed something up wrenching, you haven't wrenched a lot. I thought about cutting the ugly welds out of this video, but F it. I'll use every excuse...not my welder, upside down, dissimilar thicknesses...oh well🤣
