Notched the frame...a little

[billybaloo]

Hey guys, I was looking for some opinions on the structural integrity of notching the frame for header clearance. My plan for the truck is a weekend cruiser and the occasional smokey burnout. Of coarse I will have to take it down the track at least three... times to establish talking points. I am leaving the suspension stock with the exception of the lowering shocks and springs now on the truck from cpp. Sometime in the future, I may add disc brakes as well. Should I maybe box weld in some steel where I notched the frame for the intended purpose of the truck as stated? The converter is questionable once I get the truck running, so a engine pull could be in the future. I am still a long way from firing her up. Thanks, Bill
