I had no clue how it was actually done. Jeff said his brother was going nuts with the project, he loves the math! šŸ¤£ Thats why its happening out there. I hate math. > [@Local police bust down wrong door](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/local-police-bust-down-wrong-door/28509/15): > > True. Not too much math required, but I have spent a lot of my career on beam cross sections. And I was obsessed with making sure the notched section has the same strength. Sickening enough, that is the fun part for me! Yeah, most notches actually increase the strength of the frame. S10Blazed Si has a real nice 7 or 8" step notch on his S10 that he said he felt actually increased the rigidity of the frame. I guess once you add in that box tubing and the full welding around, it has to at the very least increase the strength a little bit. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/frame-notch/188311)._
