[QUOTE="KP81, post: 1507484, member: 16020"] If all your taking out is the part in yellow, it looks like to me you are not even removing a whole section of frame? If you are doing that why dont you drop a piece of box tube with a decent wall thickness .250" or so and use some .250" plate to fill the open spaces that would be left throw some fish mouth plates over all the joints, that gets you a wider opening for you engine to sit in with out actually widening the frame and should be plenty strong. Its hard for me to tell exactly what you are trying to do with the frame because I cant see what you see, but that is what I get out of the picture. Why make the space your shocks are going to sit in smaller if you dont have to. Anything I said only makes sense if you are leaving a portion of frame if not chop away and put some pictures up of what you end up doing. I have been watching your build. I like where your going with this not that I would ever do it.:D [/QUOTE]
