Simple question. Does moving the springs inboard weaken the frame where front spring box is welded in. I already moved them and they were professionally welded, but just wondered. I also am going to tie the frame together. Is there a point that I need to worry?

Car is 65 Valiant. Realistically, this is mid 13 second build with 4-speed and slicks. Thanks for your thoughts.

For a 13 sec car, I'd say nope. Many cars run this relocation way faster with big engines and slicks.
