Yep, that's how I did a couple. Make sure you cut back to clean metal- rust has no tensile strength... :lol: :lol: :shock:
And do it with the car sitting level, not jacked up... that can pull things out of shape.

I would leave them in , if you take them out it all needs to be blocked up level and left like that until finished.
I'd do the pans then the sills, or vice versa, and finish one side at a time. :wink:
