The work looks great but the rear frame rails look pretty thin after being cut over the wheel arch OR maybe I am over thinking it?

The work looks great but the rear frame rails look pretty thin after being cut over the wheel arch OR maybe I am over thinking it? Even narrowed, the frame rails are fine. It's pretty much what you have to do to fit a tire under a G-body. Plus, once the body gets bolted back onto the chassis, and the roll cage bars get implemented, it's more than strong.
