I am in the same boat right now, plated most of the uniframe, sending the rig off for cage work in the next week, and once I get it back I gotta put a floor in.
with all the rust I have, it should make for some interesting splatter during the welding process, or should I say interesting welding during the splatter process.

looking forward to seeing how you finish this, as I will be following suit soon enough.
 
got the floor subframe started. got around the atlas and trans planned out in my head

damn, are you inside my head?
same plan as I started last weekend.

are you planning on having the floor pan above the trans/t-case removable?

and what are your plans for cleaning up inside the the rails? I figured I'd wire wheel them and rattle can them and hope for the best.

there will be a piece above the trans and tcase that is removable so i can pull the shifter off and acsess the top 2 tcase bolts, and i have no plan for the frame rails at the moment
 
lack of updates was due to a nice trip to Florida, Texas and Louisiana to fistit lots-family, anyways, Floor subframe is now 95% done, tomorow i will add some pieces down the middle to tie em all together(cept the shifter ones ill just have a pices on the side) weekend will include 2x4 crossmember to replace the one under the rear seat or i just might make one from the stick of 2x2 i got left, and ill ass shock mounts and coil retiners for the frt 60 then all it will need is gears lockers and shafts installed
