Just buy some marine grade plywood, vinyl Ester resin and start measuring and fitting, cutting. I have only done a partial floor and it was easy. Good guy to ask is glassdave. He can give you advice, however its pretty straight forward. Save yourself a ton of $$ Dan!

Try posting this in the glass section too. Or just pm glassdave.

Not difficult but very smelly and messy.
Basic glass procedures apply.
Do a bunch of research, buy some materials and have at it.

Get rid of the tabs as they do nothing except have potential to hit the floor and crack along the weld. Foam them in and don't forget to remove the Milwaukee saw. 700 who is Nabbers? 30 hr job total if your lucky
