My Currie 9″ Ford Housing is Bent! What happened? How am I going to fix this?
This is the last major upgrade to my 1969 Pontiac GTO, to be “autocross” reliable.

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.
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
Can I make a thumbnails for your channel
Did i miss it? how did they fix the housing
