The Ford Barn

I purchased a modified 3.54 gear set for a '33 and reviewed past V8 Times articles plus got advise to my questions here on the Barn. Have now finished car and started driving it. I have a noise that is loudest about mid driveline that appears to be from rubbing. The drive line was shortened and a new 6 spline was welded in to mate with the modified '35 and up Ring & Pinon. The modified driveline looked good and installed w/o problems. I am now assuming that it is not straight, thus the rubbing noise but I do not feel any vibration at speeds up to about 50MPH. I am looking for comments, advice etc. before I proceed to remove the rear end.

Thank for your help
