Vince and Jeff's,

I used 3/16 plate wrapped to match the contour of the notch. I feel very comfortable with my welding abilities. I was just a little nervous about modifying these factory stamped frame rails. LOLs. I cannot believe how thin the frame rails are. Im use to working on full frame cars. LOLs.

I will try to get some pictures up. Im doing all of this with an Ipad now so my pictures may be upside down. LOLs. Even when I flip the photo and reload....it will still be upside down.

As far as the install itself. It couldn't be easier in my opinion. Straight forward install. A plasma cutter would probably speed things up considerably, but I moved away from my air cutoffwheel in favor of my Makita 4" electric grinder with a 1/32"x4" cutoff wheel. Oh...and if you wear older jeans be weary of the frays at the bottom of pant legs....Im welding away and noticed my leg was getting a little warm. Fire!!!! LOL's.

David
