I used a mig. Works just fine. I started at 12 oclock with a 1/2 weld then went to 6, then 3, then 9, alternating sides. It helps to keep the tubes from pulling. Then I just conected the welds, still alternating sides. I also weld up the rivets because they seep oil. The tubes do too so they have to be pretty clean to weld good. I uae laquer thinner with an old brush and scrub everything real good.

Setting up the housing at zero to start tacking the brackets on.

I have test fit it and everything fits great. I learned a few things while doing this and will change a few things up next time. I am debating right now on whether to wait it out and do the Mustang TA or ride the mini ladder bar setup until i can get that in there.
