These are simply blind clips which slip in from the underside of the car (at least they are on my '69). I ordered new ones and they were listed for 67-69. You should not have to cut anything.

Yep your are right, but what I'm having trouble with is that 3 out of the 6 bolts the nut came out of the bind clip and it just spins. The only way I could think of to hold the nut from spinning was to make an access hole in the floor so I could hold the nut form the top and turn the bolt out from the bottom. If there is another way to get to the bolt to hold it I am all ears, and I wish I would have known before cutting holes in the drivers side.

You did what you had to do Jason. The J-clips are spring steel and rust very quickly. Once the bolts get "locked" into the threaded portion with rust all you will do is spin the J-clip apart when you put any kind of torque on the bolt.
I would suggest cleaning up your access holes and making a cover for them. Use stainless fasteners to bolt the pockets back in and, if you need to take them back out, simply pull the covers and unbolt them...

Yes Jason you did exactly what most people have to do when these break and just start spinning. Some people cut a notch in the frame others cut a hole in the floor. Mark (astroracer)had some great advice too about plugging the hole and using stainless fasteners.
