We then create a sub-floor support using 2" x 2" thick walled steel tubing on 9" centers to replace the cut out beams. My son in law who's a mechanical engineer modeled the deflection and strength to come up with the design. I re-laid the upstairs floor and then sheet-rocked, textured and painted the garage ceiling opening.

Wasn't cheap or easy but was better than storing the car offsite somewhere.
