    As Pat mentioned, you really need to build a subframe first out of some tubing, The stock floors usually have some supporting structures built in, but when you redo them it is easiest to build a subframe first, then spot weld all the sheet metal to that.

    You can coat the subframe and underside of the sheet metal with weld through primer first to keep things from rusting in the future. Here is a picture of a typical subframe setup.
