Default Cutting the Floorboards

Got the new sheet metal Thursday; floor pans, fender aprons, firewall to floorpans from The Paddock; radiator supprt from California Mustang. Later today I start cutting. Any advise or suggestions before I start?

look for brake cables, fuel lines, and drill out all the spot welds before cutting! also i found it easier to remove the drive shaft for how high i put my floors in so i coudl weld and grind easier. also dont take it all out with one swipe take it out and leave about 1" around the outside edge so you can trim to fit. have fun!
