Re: Anyone trim the frame to fit your headers?

i did something similar but my frame was boxed in that area you might want to consider some bracing. my original frame was cracked near the passenger front cab mount. this is a high stress area defiantly worth some extra plating especially since your adding weight. my 53 cracked with the original 6 in it. mind you a crazy high schooler was driving it at the time
