Great job brother!!! I’ve been looking for a video like this forever. If you ever do a mini tub on a gbody please post it. Thanks

[@kentshifflet9202]

Excellent job once again,Jeff!!!! You definitely rocked the good ol G Body... Love the video,Jon should be so lucky to have friends like you!!!! CUT AND WELD ON.....

[@LandonRoy-cv9rt]

I love the “G-body shuffle”!!

[@Simmonsracing187]

Great video jeff,im getting ready to do this to my Malibu, I'll be using a cutoff wheel and jackstands to do job,thanks for the good tips

[@gregbowen9546]

Good video, I always just use the factory piece that I cut out . I try to cut 1" out of center but try to leave just a little bit of the round edge on top and bottom of frame and over lap the pieces. I think it's a little stronger and you don't have to buy nothing.

[@ryanh415]

Same thing I do . I'll cut the outer plate off at the seam top and bottom , remove coatings and rust from cut out and frame rail then clean it up with a grinder , tuck the other plate inside the rail then weld it back up . Been doing it like that on 1,500+ hp cars and 0 failures or bent frames .

[@betosgarage]

@@ryanh415this is good info. do i need to weld a 3/16 or 1/4 thick bar rail to rail prior to cutting?

[@FAFO1984]

About to notch my wagon. Thanks for the tips Jason

[@kdsboosted4954]

Perfect I'm about to do this to my 79 coupe "devillen" I've been hesitant because of thinning the frame but the inner support is all I needed to see and I'm originally a lowrider guy so a plate on the inside of the frame makes sense too. The only thing I'll do different is drill holes in both rear cross members and slide the connector bars inside and weld them.

[@06goatm6]

Great vid. Very interesting and just the right amount of detail and time lapse

[@blakbanshee]

Would you say that’s an 8-10 hour job? I mainly do Jeeps, but I have a customer with a Monte Carlo who wants a quote to do the job.

[@newmantv5668]

love those G-Bodies, sold mine a few months ago but with your continuous tutorial. I might just get another and take my time. watching from Charlotte NC. Thanks

[@donalddooley209]

Great vid learned a lot from watching it 👍

[@robertward1880]

Know you made the video a while back but I might frame notch my cutlass. The video was head on!

[@wilsonmartin621]

Man, you once again, knocked it out the park!! good job Jeff

[@hiddenman99]

Well done. One of these days I'm gonna do a notch on my wagon. In the drive way with a grinder/ cutoff blade and a 110v mig will be a bit tougher than the job you did. Wish you were colse to New Orleans I would sub out some work to you for sure!!!

[@residentialservicesplus.1049]

Damn good job bro. 😎. Very detailed video.

[@DesTakeFlight]

What size tubing is that ? Looks good 👍🏽

[@idlewild1964]

When you were cutting that out I thought it would weaken it considerably and how you were going to compensate! We have to give to get when Hot Rodding! Good Common Sense goes a long way

[@chriscollins4651]

Some of the best content on KZbin. Excellent stuff bud

[@hiddenman99]

Good video. This was a much needed topic to go over.

[@hiddenman99]

I have a gbody and never have i seen a complete vid on a frame notch..jeff is froggin talented and i envie his work space

[@bradmitchell2246]

Great video! I have an 85 el camino I’m looking to have some work done to. Can you DM me?

[@betosgarage]

did mine the same with 1 5/8 tubing & the bars running up to where the upper controls mount are pretty close to my upper tubular control arms bout an inch away with full tank & car lowered . i hear them hit here and there while driving . took it to the drag strip did fine but will it affect it being limited to transfer weight back when launching? i’m thinking i can notch them for more clearance

[@steveicky4525]

He might want to add a shock tower brace frm UMI for more support with that notch if he hasn't already

[@sandersmotorsports516]

I love the videos and how u make it look simple keep up the good content

[@ericnegron4776]

Nice video man I just subscribed. I see the plates on the car are from n.c. I wonder if your close to me I'd like to get a price from you to do this and mini tub

[@betosgarage]

I was able to fit a 275 radial on mine with out notch . But I’m notching it to try & fit a 315 ona 10 or 11 wide wheel . Great video

[@Sxsutvrzrguy]

What width wheel and back spacing do you have

[@betosgarage]

[@lachula001]

Where are you located??

[@nosfedss]

I have a question about the inner part of the wheel well. Did you show where you or how you hammered it or messaged it at?

[@TerenceSawtellCA]

Great breakdown. Did you find the kit kind of pointless? I have the raw steel here to do this, and I was thinking of cutting out the piece, tracing the piece that comes out and cut it to fit. It seems pointless to buy the kit since you're already doing that anyway. Thoughts?

[@HighPSItv]

Thats how I did my first notch

[@stefandwoodham]

You slammed the pipe in the rear!?

[@dandrecoleman7976]

What coil spring can I use to clear 24s I was told s10, Buick, Roadster, Monte Carlo or k1500 with out a lift kit. Please help thanks

[@uncledeeznuts]

I was hoping you didn't catch the gas tank on fire good job man love the video

[@Carolina_Squid]

As much as Id love to tackle this myself is this something you would want to do on an Elco?

[@flawlessfades5044]

What’s the widest tire I can fit without tubbing I have a 295 30 20

[@DarrinSK]

does the cross support you welded in negatively affect handling for non drag application? like if I want to do a mild pro tourer?

[@RonnieYoung-zx8wu]

What did you use to hold the back of the frame up so the rear quarters don't buckle

[@charlestorruella8591]

The problem to me wouldnt be the braceing you added its the fact you cut both sides without braceing the rearend first and then moving it up and down man that rear end has to be sagging a little and then you braced it after the fact so it stays that way. And you cant figer out why the small pieces are angled thats becauae your sopposed to angle your cuts to make a angled transition to give it strength instead of chopping it off square that tells me your remark about experienced fabricators and shit meant nothing becuase you have never notched a frame rail before is what that tells me

[@ajball620]

Charles Torruella what would sag?? Everything that matters is in front of the notch were the links bolt

[@juanreyes3038]

Are you guys still working on cars if so can you send me the address I'm in nyc and would love to do the frame notch on my g body just let me know how much ok thank and keep up the good work

[@jkbaker01]

How safe is it to notch it like that. I know you added bracing but isn't there still potential for bending? My old 69 Camaro used to bend the rails not even notched

[@HighPSItv]

All the suspension pickup points are forward of the notch. So it's all good

[@MEANGENE]

Excellent work bro 💪👊☝

[@vela505]

What size tube did you use ? I think i missed it. Thanks

The pieces are probably scrap they throw in so they don't have to cut stock.

[@miket2607]

Nice! So what would something like this cost at a shop and the average turnaround?! I know different areas will cost more than others, just looking for a ballpark.

[@HighPSItv]

Probably Bout $1000 a And a few days.

[@benzermeno1850]

Here’s a dumb question. If I notch my GBody 1” on both side obviously. Can I shorten up my rear end by 1” on both sides in order to get a deep dish rim installed. Any opinion.

[@pcmfrenzy1089]

You mentioned the tire size, but you didn't mention the rim offset?

[@HighPSItv]

Normally its 10" wheel and 5" backspace

[@terrancewilliams31]

Hello are you taking any projects on such as this but I would like it to fit 24 x 12 in the rear with no problem

[@HighPSItv]

Im dont have room for any more projects currently

[@davidpaul1985]

Its a junk car, not saying i wouldn't drive a gbody, but why kit get wheel spacers? 30 minutes versus what; 3hours?

Very nice job sup clean

[@scottcurry187]

I have an 85 El Camino with a 10 inch rear rim that fits no problem with no frame notch, I want to get a 12 inch rear rim in there is that possible with a frame notch, I know Umi carries this frame notch kit I have full Umi suspension on the car now.

By doing the same thing.. can i get 315/60/15 to fit? 15x10 rim 5 1/2 Backspace? or will i have to mini tub car? same car 87 cutlass

[@bryanmoring9819]

You know what's easier than that? Buying wheels with enough offset to give you the clearance you need. Or just upgrade the wheel studs and throw a 1/4" spacer on each side.

[@HighPSItv]

Yea, but then the hit the inside of the quarter panel 😲😲

[@bryanmoring9819]

That is true but you could raise the rear up or leave it at stock ride hight and it should clear

[@HighPSItv]

@@bryanmoring9819 its currently at stock ride height

What’s the back spacing on the wheel you’re gonna use. Might be doing this to my Malibu soon.

[@HighPSItv]

Should be 0 offset

Thanks, what about the back spacing though. I think people been fitting 5 to 5 1/2 inches of wheel back spacing with the frame notch done.

You gotta knock your frame back enough to allow the fitment , but if you're shortening the rear AND doing the notch , you're gonna need to get it tubbed as well .

Hey Jeff, been following you KZbin channel for a while. I’ve got a 87 Monte Carlo SS, and I’m trying to fit a 20x10.5 315/30/20 under the back. With a 1inch spacer, we’re just a little off (maybe 1inch). Do you think a frame notch would do the trick or is this mini tub time?
