If you are not saving it, just grind it or cut it out.

If you are saving it, us a drill and drill the spots out or use a spot weld remover.

Sean S,

I'm not sure on this, but when you remove the frame, you are going to loose some stiffness in the floor...might have to make up for it somehow.

Sean S,

This is just a cautionary thought. After you buzz the factory frame piece off, jump around on the floor and see if it has become squishy!

I have never done this, but it just looks like the frame adds some integrity and strength to the big flat floor board...maybe not.

automarc is right the seat riser or frame does reinforce the floor. Probably lots of them have been cut out for custom seats. Good luck.
