Default Fox floor pan replacement?

So the stanger may just need new floors. Might be easier than just patching it. So the only thing is I have never done floor pans and Im a beginner at welding. So has anybody on here used the late model resto. floor pans? They seem to be the best priced. But I am curious about the fitment or anything I will have to tweak. If anyone has any pics. that would be much appreciated!

Full floor pan replacement is a PITA, usually. I have not done it in a mustang, but with my chevelle the floor pan ends were sandwiched between the rocker panel sheetmetal and door frame sheet metal. Pull the carpets and look at it. It may be easier/look better to just patch it. Not sure as I have not had to do sheet metal work on my stang.

I can try yo post pics today or tonight. Unfortunately it was a chicago car and I think it saw some winters. I have knocked out all the soft area on the driver side and ended up with a hole waayyy bigger than I expected. Some rocker rot as well on the inside and outside.
