Notching stck front frame for tire clearance 69 Camaro. - Lateral-g Forums

I want to ride low all the time. Thats the problem i have. (I'm not into 4 wheeling

)

My idea is that by slicing the frame a bit i (maybe) could run short A- arms and/ or change to an even more agressive backspacing wheel to pull the tire in as it would give me the clearance i'm losing on the outside back on the inside . 'Still running low, but with a wide patch that has the space to move around.

Just trying to see if its feasible and if its a good idea...

Now that just got me to think about track width. How does that effect the whole thing?

Lead i am happy you took this up! I have been asking this same several times without any real info of notching stock frame. Do you remember twister ? It had 275s(?) at front and A arms ( and frame??) was modified . So notching cant be that hard to do.

Did you re-inforce inside the frame where you cut the chunk out? I assume from the pictures that you welded in a ~1/8" plate to fill the part you cut out? I'm right at the point of notching my subframe and was thinking of seriously re-inforcing the area with internal ribs to carry the load around the notch? Seemed like this would elimate any stresses in the area of the notch?
