To clarify:
I'm not nervous about notching anything, just that it would possibly be one more thing to do and add to a very long list of to-do's. When time is limited and your working out of your house garage and don't have access to Tig, plasma cutters, etc, etc, it gets to be a PITA when you have to fab something.
Packaging is key, and that's the reason kits and such are so popular. When I buy a $5000 subframe I don't expect to, nor do I want to have to notch or move anything for it to fit what the car could have orignally came with, a BBC.
Does that mean that the guy working out of his garage or isn't a star fabricator should limit his expectaitions or goals to minimal upgrades and standard bolt-ons?
