Or maybe just buy sheet metal and just weld in leaving tranny tunnel if possible? I don't really think all the indent are important as long as the floor is the same general shape i should be fine right?

You need to do some bracing underneath or it wont be sturdy at all.

Look at my build thread. I cut the rotted floor pans out and welded in flat sheet metal without bracing underneath and its real firm. The body mount is right under there so that acts as a large brace, you may have to cut your body mount off also and cut the spot welds off, then weld that to the sheet metal floor pan if the cancer has spread that far.
