It might be a good learning experience for everyone. The shop doing my 69 Z28 showed me the full floor section he is putting in another JL8 car(that I used to own) and it's a really nice replacement part with much better structural support than doing any partial work will give you. The car doesn't look too bad, but as soon as you started replacing more than 1 floor section the full floor is a much better option.
Yeah, I had a really good experience with my full floor as well.
