bad idea. the gas lines and shit are easy to move, and the exhaust is easy aswell (like 4 bolts at cat and mani) youve come this far. it will work and hold but not as well by half and it will rust out fast. just box it.

iv boxed frames with 1/4 inch just to be sure, never get halfway there and giveup dude.
