I would like to see pictures of the notched frame. I am not sure what he is knotching in the front, the rear I understand.

I've owned my car since 1993. I've had it aligned over 6 times since then. Always with moog offset bushings and stock upper control arms. I've got over 3 degrees caster and over 0.25 camber every times. I have the alignment machine printouts.
But, I have always sought out and found alignment technicians that understand performance alignments and understood the
concepts of alignment. The guy in Ames, IA raced circle track cars, Bagge & Son in L.A. gets exotics, handling mods, & 50+ year old cars in on a
daily basis, and Cars Automotive in Redondo Beach, CA does lots of older cars.
When you lower the car a lot, there is no room for the lower bumpstop. So instead of running short poly bumpstop Alltime (Tim) notched the frame. First, he removed the welded on support under the front frame rail. Then he cut into the frame itself about 1" to 1.5" on the out side making sort of a pie shaped cut. Then he welded everything up. Last, reinstalled the factory thick lower bumpstop support.
Tough to descibe without pictures. I took some but they didn't come out. That was over ten years ago and the car is long gone.
