In short, if you look at the tubs from the trunk you would cut the inner tub where the 2 are welded together in the center drill out the spot welds at the trunk, remove amount of metal from floor, install tub, and fill center of tub with new metal. This is a short version and there is more to it than that, but I am at work...
I am sure someone will chime in about it since most of the cars here have had it done to some extent. Try a search as well, and I will try to get more info and some pics if I can.

Hope these come through. I found these on the post from Ironworks Chevelle build. We didn't remove the back panel the way they did. Hope they don't mind that I pass the pics along.

Chris,
Thanks for those links. I had seen the one from Ironworks, man I love that car. He has done inspiring work. I'm just about to the point of cutting, just trying to see others.
Keep up posting updates, you know the Chevelle guys need to stick together

thanks,
