Take pics please, because it may be cheaper and easier to have a local welder do it with sheet metal. The resaon I say this is because you would need to drill all the spot welds for the frame rails, floor supports, and more. Plus the exhaust hangers, and other items.

Take pics first. I had my floor fixed.

I had a spot on either side that had rusted through. One inspection station was going to pass me which I flipped out on because I actually want to take care of the car and they were going to pass floor holes I got my body man to fix her up, cut the rusted spots out, put in new pieces, brazed, sanded primed and painted/undercoated. I needed a couple holes fixed and he wanted a carton of pallmalls lol done deal
