i'm sure if you brace accordingly before you cut the car would not buckel.
but i would say modifying a unibody frame is not a good idea. |

i took out my spair tire and carpet and left every thing bare metal for less weight, and i was thinkin about cutting it out, but its not too good of an idea on a unibody.

i knew a guy with a probe that cut out his spare tire well.
welded in some braces and then welded in some sheetmetal. as far as i know he hasn't had any problems. -------------------- Jared Harwell
