I'd get the car up on a lift and take a good hard look for other corrosion issues. If you rusted all the way through there, then there are likely other problem areas. My experience has been that rust is analogous to cancer. You may take care of it for a little while, but once it starts, it's next to impossible to stem the tide. Decide now if you want to try and fix it, or if it's time to look for another body.

I just redid the floor pans in my '82 T-Top. The top seals had leaked for years and i could put my foot through both back floorpans.
It took about 30 cutoff wheels, lots of grinding, measuring, and more griding, and wire brushing. Then paying my friend who works at a body shop to come weld in the new ones one evening. I just cut the bad sections out, cut replacement pieces from a donor stang that was sittin around and then screwed the replacements down. Then my friend continious welded them down, followed by some seam sealer later on. Actually, it was really easy all in all. Although you really need somewhere indoors to do it. I have a complete shop i rent with compressed air and it's also heated so that makes a big difference. I pulled a couple of all nighters to get her done. Too bad I didn't have my digital camera back then or i'd snapped a few pics.
