Actually in most cases a notched frame will be stronger if done right, if you are doing a notch out of .250 plate, and boxing the frame fore and aft, you will actually wind up with a much stronger frame than the single wall 3/16" thick C channel you have stock. I would do a 100% weld out to ensure the strength, and it should be good to go.
