I'm asking this for a co-worker as he asked me and I did not have the answer. He is doing a frame off restoration of a 67' CJ-5. He is going to have the frame boxed and powdercoated. He was given the advice not to completely box it in near where the steering box mounts and front axle reside, but rather leave a "pie" shaped cut out. The explanation he was given was that completely boxing it in would not allow enough flex thus causing the welds to break. Having no experience with this I come to those on the forum having dealt with this. Does this sound accurate? If not any advice on how to properly have it boxed would be great. Thanks for your help.
