Hello friends,
After spending the weekend in trial and error, I believe that my final
results resulted in a very strong, semi-permanent, repair for thin and
weakened footwells.

I discarded the "removeable" fiberglass insert concept in favor of a much
stronger alternative, yet it should not in anyway impede the removal of the
floorpans when I have them replaced in the not-too-distant future with OEM
style steel panels.
My reasons and prodedures have been documented along with various digital
pictures in case anyone else wants to take a crack at this -- or would just
like something else to read. I've never worked with fiberglass before in my
life. This weekend, I tried my hand at it twice. Thanks to all who gave me
tips and advice for this project. As usual, I couldn't have performed this
repair without the generous assistance of those who have been there before
me on this list.
Best wishes,
Jeff in San Diego
