Easiest to chop out the rib from the top and weld strapping over it; just cover it with a slight carpet bulge. I've done a lot of cutting from underneath, and it gets old quick. And what for? to leave a couple of little strips that have to be welded to from underneath? The original factory reinforcement isn't attached to the tunnel very well at all, but welding from above makes for a nice solid floor above the trans crossmember. Now, If you have your car up-side-down on a rotisserie; that's a different story...lol..
