Cutting out old floor boards.

I have to cut out the full floor boards out in my car. And it's my first time. So if anyone has pictures of your car braced. It'd be awesome. Or any tips or tricks would be helpful too.

others correct if i'm wrong, but I don't rememeber seeing the body braced just to replace the floors. IIRC the roof and rockers should be enough, but i've never personally done a full floor.

You're over thinking this.

No bracing needed unless you are cutting into the rockers. If you feel the car is too weak without the floor... It's time to find another car.

I probably am over thinking it. But that's why I have this lovely forum glued in my phone. First time jitters I suppose

better to ask questions first (and there are NO dumb questions!) before you start cutting. that's what this place was started for.

My thoughts exactly.

I did not brace mine for the floor pan. Like big john said unless your rockers are bad.
