ok this is going to sound very ren neck and all but this is what we did to fix a hand rail at my work... for your floor panel get the sheet meatel that you need... cut it to fit the whole that your ganna fix.... here comes the red neck part.... get some of those meatel close hangers that you can buy at wal mart or were ever with out the plastic coating on it... get a map gas toruch too... use the hanger as a welding rod and the torch to heat it up so you can weld it on.... hope this makes since i'm trying not to fall a sleep... good luck...

road signs (stop signs, street signs, etc.) and bubble gum.... now thats redneck.... haha just kiddin.... but the street sign thing would be ideal for a floor panel since they dont rust, its just the "stealing them is highly illegal" thing lol
