I need to cut the metal out on the driver's side long (see photo below). The bottome of the long is ok, so I won't (shouldn't) have to cut that out. Do I need to secure the frame when doing this, or if the rest of the long is ok (and it is) will it hold it's dimensions? I've seen some other postings where they've made stabalizing connections that spanned from the seat belt bolt to where the door bolts on. Is this necessary for what I'm about to cut out?
As always, thanks for any and all responses! Attached image(s)

if the pic is just the front part, where the jackstand is, then it will be fine... I did the same thing on the passenger side... cut a hole where the jackstand is, car is still structurally sound...
