Made some progress this week. I left the crossmember section in place and cut out the sections between the bends, leaving the center strap. This allowed me to weld the center strap at the bends to retain that strength. I admit it doesn’t give you as much room as removing the whole section and welding a strap to the floor but it does retain some of the stock engineered strength and the original spotwelds remain in tact. I’ll clean it up a bit more before I POR15 the daylights out of it.
