^^ That would be your best bet since you sound like you don't have a clue on what to do with it. If you cut too much and don't brace the body you can screw up the whole car and weld it back together and it not be straight again.

Well the first thing you will want to do is go ahead and install a set of full length subframe connectors from Maximum Motorsports. If its just the floor pans you can do one side at a time without screwing up the car though.
