My blaster has a bunch of dents along the underside of the frame on the bottom under the engine. I know this weakens the frame and was wondering if there is any way to repair these dents along the bottom by replacing that area of the frame(i dont know if this would also weaken the frame further) or by some other means. By the way they are about 1/8th of the way into the frame pipe. I plan to get a skid plate also to help protect it.

Don't think they will cause any problems. If you want to fix them. Try slicing a some tubing down the middle and welding it over the bad spots. Or an entire section would be better.

And get a skidplate!!

That sounds good about the putting in new tubing but wouldnt it make that area of the frame where the seam is weaker than it already is because of the dents?

Your not putting in new tubing, just overlaying new tube over the bad stuff. With a lot of welding, it should hold up fine.
