I think the route that I'll take now is to just box the frame (top, sides, and bottom) for re-inforcement, then weld in the new floor pan. I'm kind of dumbfounded that you had to point that out to me actually. I've thought for so long on this frame ordeal, I guess I just got overwhelmed. Oh well, soon all will be better though.
I would just repair the bad sections and then do the top (to complete the box) Doing the bottom and sides with an extra layer is redundant.

What are your plans for the car? If you are not going to put in a monster engine, just do the front part (engine mounting areas), maybe in the rear where the rear end mounts.
