Epoxy or metal etch primer is your friend too. Once you've got the new stuff welded in, as long as you give it a coating of either epoxy or metal etching primer before you put herculiner or something else on it, you should be good to go.

As far as screwing/riveting in floor pieces, make sure you run seam sealer around the edges or you risk getting rust again pretty quick.
