I removed both front seats. I used a length of scrap 1 inch square tubing to mark my cut line and I removed the passenger rocker panel. I cleaned it up and mocked it in place with clamps and measured to make sure it was exactly an inch shorter, then I welded the top back on. I still have to weld the bottom and make a plate to fill in a gap at the rear, but at least there was enough material and space behind the rocker to make it possible. I also measured front to back to make sure the floor didn't flex when I removed the rocker.
