Okay, now why don't you dig yourself a deeper hole?
How do you weld a slot?
A slot is, in engineering practices, a hollow or rectangular hole, how the hell do you weld a hole?

Let's cut the bullshit, I am an engineer with a background in automotive tooling and fabrication.

The only way you would be able to add titanium stiffeners to the frame would be to bolt them in place, this would not give you as much strength as welding steel stiffeners in place.
With the amount of torque and vibration you're talking about the bolts would literally vibrate and tear their way out of the steel that they are in anyway.

How did you adapt the Probe chassis to allow a rear wheel drive train to be fitted?
How much did you have to narrow the Suburban's axle to fit the wheels in the wheel arches?

Like Fly said, give it up.
