Dale…Assuming you have no rear suspension or fuel tank in the car. Block the car up on the pinch seams of the rocker sills near front leaf spring mount using wooden blocks. Also support the body at the rear shackle area. Make sure the body is level front and rear, also check to make sure doors open and close normally and trunk is aligned and the gaps are where you want them before any cutting. By using wooden blocks there is less of a chance the body will move around when cutting, the body must remain level. You can do both sides before tub removal. I done it with the tubs removed also, but braced the floor between the tubs to the area between trunk opening and package tray with flat bar. Measure and measure again otherwise you will be patching things up. Tack weld everything on both sides before finish welding takes place. The rule book says "The bottom of the frame rails can't be higher than the stock floor height", this is something that you should think about. What are you using for rear suspension? I hope this helps…Maurice.
