A nibbler is the best, but a sawzall or cutoff wheel will get the job done too.

Are other people finding it common to cut the floor? I've done 1/2 dozen of these conversions in the past and I don't remember having to cut the floor.

the tunnel brace is a b#tch to get out, look in tech at the bottom of m&m, there is a great read you should have a look at.
