Also I have about 20 inch by 20 inch sections of floor pan cut out already too so it makes a little more room to work with but thanks guys I appreciate it
I wondered about this. You need to brace this car before going forward. You can't just cut out large sections of floor pan and remove the crossmember at the same time and expect nothing to move. Unibody's depend on a lot of different parts for their strength, you can't just cut out a bunch a stuff at the same time and not have the chassis flex.
I would strongly recommend finishing the floor before you start on the crossmember replacement.
