Is it just the floor that is shot to bits then?? If so simply use a torch 
to cut out the floor area, support the body and lift off. Bolt a new 
floor down and then lower the old body back on. this method saves on a 
lot of disassembly and costly repainting. As soon as you have done this 
quickly sell it at the next show as an 'original car':-)
