Well ya need braces and support lots of braces if your removing the whole floor.

I just did this a couple weeks ago basically I jacked the car up and set it perfectly level, get a good spot weld removal tool and air chisel and go to town, once all spot welds are removed and the floor is out you can clean up any bad areas with a good flap disc grinding disc check out my pics under "member restorations" "73 b3 340 duster pro touring build" theres pics there and I can send or post others I have. good luck

Get real cozy with a plasma or spotweld cutter.

door braces and jack stands under suspension mounting points,I consulted some body pro's and they were all in agreement that since its not a convertible the roof and rocker structures would be enough with the door braces and it worked out alright, I took measurements to be sure of this.

I see the door braces. Did you make them or buy them somewhere?

they came with my rotisserie but angle iron tack welded in the door area will work the same, if these weren't included in the deal thats the plan I was going to go with.
