It does NOT go as easy as planned, as usual. Let’s figure this out!

I don't understand why you welded on all those brackets if the Currie was specifically made for your car? I ran with Strange for my G body and it's perfect as is.

@Danno74Z says:

I second what stevenb3027 asked. How did Currie save your "butt"? Cut and re-weld the tubes to the housing using a jig specially made for this type of work? Thanks

@Salman-Mansoor-. says:

Can I make a thumbnails for your channel

Did i miss it? how did they fix the housing
