The idea of cutting out the floor seemed exciting, but I stopped and thought about it for a few and realized that there was
a structural problem here. The front frame of the car runs under the floor and is then spotwelded to the floor that I want
to cut out. Here is the question I kept asking myself...How do I know that when I cut the floor out, the car is not going
to fall on the floor due to lack of support from the frame? My conclusion was that it would not be a problem, but I am still
concerned with the possibility of the unibody twisting when I cut the floors out causing an alignment problem when I get the
whole thing together. So here is what I did. I verified that I was supporting the car relatively evenly on 4 points, and
then cut the area surrounding the frame support. I watched while cutting very closely to verify that there was no major movement
between the two pieces...lucked out...no relative movement. Now it's time to get down to real cutting...
