   cut along the top edge of the rockers between the seatbelt bracket and edge of the seat brace edge, the corners can be a pain due to multi layers coming together...

	I've got a pristine passenger compartment floor in a '73 donor Montego. I DO NOT have a project car for the floor so I'm simply saving a much as possible not knowing what I might need later. I've never removed a floor before and currently plan to do the following: 1. Remove the entire floor saving as much material as possible yet allowing the part to fall below the body once cut free. I don't know yet if this is possible. 2. Plan to use a sawzall, with an angle grinder at the ready. 3. Plan to find a cut line high up along the sides but inside the line of the frame so it can drop clear. Any words of wisdom are much appreciated!!!
